Firefighters shot responding to wildfire in North Idaho

WTF is going on in this country? I'd like to blame all the "invaders" that jumped the river, but JHC! Whom ever is doing this $hit, need to have their ball sack snipped, and hung from a very, very, tall tree, so we can watch them squirm, as the blood drains from their bodies, till they experience that pin-pointed vision as their miserable souls head to the lowest, hottest, place below the surface of the earth.
BullShit like this has got to stop, period. Mac
 
I’ve been a firefighter for 17 years now. Many carry CCW but it’s not always practical given the job. I think you’ll see a trend move towards guys not involved in direct attack roles carrying and eventually certifying like LE does. Bullet proof vests are not an uncommon thing anymore to have in fire stations.

For our area it’s more people with mental issues in general but also drugs. The chance of being baited or walking into a situation of getting attacked or shot is much more realistic than in 2008 when I started

Stay safe out there my fellow firefighters. Head on a swivel

The chance of getting hit on a traffic accident scene has gone up exponentially as well. To many distracted drivers or people who feel their agenda is more important than whatever is going on in that scene
 
This is a developing story, but states that fire was started intentionally and firefighters and law enforcement were shot while arriving on fire.
Absolute insanity. As a retired career wildland firefighter, this hits close to home or me.


Multiple firefighters shot
Fight fire with fire. Shoot back.
 
Thanks to all of you who put your lives on the line to help others. IDK why someone would attack first responders but you have my support and I’ll be praying for a speedy recovery for everyone that was injured and for the families of those killed today. We live in a fallen world and I’m afraid things are only going to get worse.
 
I have a friend who installs high voltage transmission lines. Someone in the company he works for was out in the woods, inspecting for transmission line installation. He was shot in the back with a rifle. Police believe it was an individual protecting illegal grow operations, typically Mexican mafia where we are on the west coast.
 
Me and my buddy were down the hill at Black Sheep buying reloading crap when this kicked off. Apparently, the scumbags set fire to about an acre and lured them up the hill. This has happened at least three times over the last 30 years in CDA when someone actively sought out law enforcement and ambushed them. It is developing and the area is currently flooded with LEO's.

The area has a ton of Califag nutters that have moved up in the last 10 years or so. The are protesting every damned thing and have every sort of wacky woke sticker on their cars. On the flip side are the far right nutters, including some loon with a Crown Vic with the Virgin Mary bolted to the roof and people of that slant. So this literally could be anything. I'm guessing the Big Beautiful Bill may have set one of them off.

This is a complete goat fuck, the hospital in CDA is packed with fire and police cars and trucks and they are staging all sorts of firepower including two or three MRAPs and several helos to go get a handle on this mess.
 
We need a multi-pronged attack plan, including many of these:

That “loon” with the Virgin Mary bolted on his crown Vic is a super nice guy. Owns a trucking company with his two sons as the drivers. Just talked to him earlier this week. Pretty sure he and his type don’t have anything to do with this, but I get your point. There’s a lot of strange stuff going on here. Not just lately- there’s always been strange things happening. Prayers for a quick end to this and lifting up bereaved friends and family.
 
It’s amazing how little it takes to destabilize even the most powerful, prosperous nation in the history of the world.

Our founding fathers understood a Capitalist Constitutional Republic wasn’t perfect, but was the best way to run a society that we humans have been able to create so far. However, they also understood that it would only work with a moral and just social fabric.

It’s taken those bastards 100+ years of contant pushing and pulling us to the left to rip that social fabric to shreds, while simultaneously knocking out all the pillars of a free society: Education, the nuclear family, assimilation vs. unfettered “immigration” and uncontrolled borders, a lawful judiciary, responsible governance and government spending vs. wholesale welfare to buy votes, etc.

Cloward-Piven just accelerated the demise.

How we let ourselves slide this far continues to amaze me though… and yes I count myself among those at fault for not doing enough to stop or even reverse it. I thought I was doing my part while I was in the military, but maybe not…or at least not looking at the right problem set until it was far too late.

The hardest part for me was coming to grips with the idea that there are people who look at our country and way of life and literally hate it, and would do anything to burn it to the ground. I still can’t understand it, but at least I see it now.

And I can still try to prepare for what’s coming and try to take care of my inner circle. 🫤

So sad, love to stop at Hickman Saddlery in Post Falls.

I just think the bolt-on Virgin Mary is a bit...........................odd.

They just played some radio traffic and the person calling for help said at least four people were down and was asking for an ambulances, it is hours old at this point. Law Enforcement escorted at least two ambulances to the hospital, not a good sign. There are about 3 hours of daylight left.
 
Some people have gone absolutely full retard, I mean WTF?! Hopefully the shooter gets dumped/arrested quickly and no other responder gets hurt. Honestly, I don’t have a preference between either dumped or arrested. There is no excuse for doing this sort of BS.

If I had to guess on a possible motive could be some lunatic mad that his property was allowed to burn at some point by the forest circus. Maybe retribution. Terrible for those firefighters!

I was wondering if it was someone who had been kicked out of the fire department recently. We'll find out soon enough with all the cops there somebody will shoot him or at least see him leaving. He likely drove there so any car parked in the area will have its license plate run.

The kind of people that would do some shit like that need to be hunted.
