This is a developing story. We will continue to provide additional details as they are made available.
Do we really need to know the number of EVERY truck & tanker and vehicle that showed up? I’m sure everyone is more interested in what caused the fire.
Yes, we do. Bye listing this info we can see just how vital the volunteers are to the community. These volunteers spend many hours training and responding when needed 24/7. Sierra Hotel First Responders.
