Humboldt Bay Fire sent out a press release with three photos. I picked this one because it has  my favorite firefighter; Humboldt Bay Fire engineer Lyndon Powell. I have known him since he worked at the Humboldt County Assessor's office. He is one of the kindest, most professional people I know. And he is married to another one of my local favorites;  former EPD PIO Brittany Powell who now works for the City of Eureka as a Project Manager.

HBF press release:

This morning Humboldt Bay Fire was requested to assist with an available engine to respond to the Palisades Fire in Los Angeles County. 

Our Type 3 Engine as well as an Engine from Fortuna Fire are leaving Humboldt County to meet with a group of three Sonoma County fire engines in Petaluma. From there all five engines and a strike team leader will be driving through the night to LA.  

Once at the Palisades Fire, our crew and the rest of the strike team will likely go directly to work. Humboldt Bay Fire is happy to provide apparatus and personnel to any agency in need, and we know that would be reciprocated. Working under unified command, all crews will be hard at work to prevent any further devastation to the Los Angeles County affected area. HBF hopes all personnel involved remain safe and return home.
