If You have been watching the news and paying attention to whats going on in California, you probably would have heard about the Humboldt fires taking place as we write this. The fires have left at least 18,000 California residents without power, and threaten thousands of homes. The Humboldt Fire, which has now consumed 8,000 acres is reportedly only 13% under control according to local fire officials. Over sixty firefighters took off for Northern California to help battle the Humboldt Fire in Butte County yesterday, and continue to battle the blaze today, which has over 1200 homes and business’s in its path.
We will try and update residents along the path of the Humboldt fires later this evening if we can get a hold of further information. We have relatives very close by who have been calling us every 2 hours, as they may have to evacuate later this evening.
