Lately I've been hearing plenty of complaints and negative conversation about the fires and the strategies employed to manage and put them out. It touches me personally because my husband is a firefighter and I watch what he goes through every day to do his job. He's up at 5 each morning and sometimes not home until 10 p.m. More ... As a member of one the volunteer fire companies, I have to say that in the seven years I have lived in Trinity County, the stupid decisions of the Board of Supervisors have surprised me in many, many ways.

Please do not cut the animal shelter attendant position from the county budget. It will be a disservice to the community as a whole, if the Animal Control officer is needed to perform the attendant's duties at the animal shelter. More ... Along with everyone else in Trinity County, I am appalled and outraged about the toxic stew we have been breathing for the past 10 weeks or so.
