Cal Fire Burns 60+ Acres South of Tehachapi

On Friday, August 9th 2024, just after 1 PM Kern County Fire Department receive reports of a vegetation fire in the areas of Oak Creek Road and Tehachapi Willow Springs Road. With assistance from BLM, CalFire, and other agencies crews were able to hold it to 60 acres in less than four hours

Excellent video of this event and the crews fighting it. However, I thought your title was odd... Cal Fire is the statewide firefighting organization... The ones flying the aircraft in this video. The title almost sounds like Cal Fire burned the 6-+ acres! Maybe spell out California? or Just Say Fire Burns 6-+ Acres.

At least it didn't say "Cali" .

[@kerncountyresponsevideos2639]

Thank you! Yes CalFire is the statewide agency. This fire however was named “Cal” with no connection to the agency

@@kerncountyresponsevideos2639 Ahh.. ok. Didn't catch that I guess.

[@glenn_r_frank_author]

T-5 Looked like one of our units from NJ FFS! We saw they went out west to help.

[@kerncountyresponsevideos2639]

Yep T-5 is from NJ Forest Service. They came out for the summer to help.

Would love to see the actual drops and where they impact rather than just the aircraft flying away
Keep up the good work 👍
