Along the United States-Mexico border, CAL FIRE utilizes a network of 10,000-gallon concrete water tanks to boost rapid wildfire response in remote areas. 💧
📍 These tanks are always full and ready to support crews during a wildfire response. Many of them date back to the 1950s pic.x.com/dUO3sgz3uC

🚫🔥 One spark is all it takes.
Every year, wildfires start from everyday activities.
#CALFIRE is asking everyone to do their part:
• Never park on dry grass
• Secure tow chains
• Use equipment like lawn mowers and weed whackers before 10 a.m.—never on hot, windy days

The #MadreFire — which started on federal land Trump manages — is now the LARGEST wildfire of the year.
Trump hasn’t said a word. His admin is proposing cuts to the Forest Service instead.
