well yes it is, as I come kicking and scratching along in the tech-no world the station has new cameras, thanks to help of a friend of the fire department.
As with any project there were a few glitches (hours and hours of time that could have been spent on the beach next to the waters of Bucks Lake, but instead sitting in front of a computer screen)
But anyway their up and running!!
There about 40% on the Butte County fire, and have re opened the back road to traffic.
Hot temperatures up here for the weekend so hydrate and find shade.
Happy Labor Day
PONDEROSA FIRE
