If you're wondering how the other social platforms are going... Awash in disinformation. I am thankful I never saw anything like that here, congrats Masto-people-onians or Fedidenizens....

(claim that Oregon couldn't send firefighters to California because of not passing smog tests, folks 🙄 )

#disinformation #wildfires
We want to clear up confusion about our Oregon firefighters and equipment sent to California to help with the wildfires. There is misinformation spreading on social media and from some news outlets claiming our equipment had to pass emissions tests and our equipment and firefighters were turned away or delayed. TO BE CLEAR: THIS IS FALSE. Our firefighters left Oregon mid-morning on Wednesday (1/8) from various locations in the state. These strike teams traveled to Sacramento where they stayed the night. On Thursday (1/9) at 6 a.m., they went through a routine safety check with CAL Fire to make sure the engines are mechanically sound. CAL Fire posted on their social media channels detailing the process. Our strike teams were scheduled to arrive in Southern California on Thursday. There was no delay in the process or travel. Our equipment is held to the highest safety standard to ensure the safety of our firefighters. This equipment also does not regularly travel hundreds of miles at a time. Firefighter safety is our number one priority. No engine was turned away. They all competed the safety check, and all 15 strike teams arrived in Southern California on Thursday and began their 24-hour shift early Friday morning. Please help us share this message. If you see any misinformation, please direct people to this post. We thank you for your support.
