☝️ TOP STORY
Taken on the day the calwood fire started from the peak to peak highway. Showing the smoke plume created from the fire after growing to 8000 acres within the first 5 hours also capturing the empty road with the smoke behind it.

Not the fire, it’s disinformation looking like misinformation that is spreading like wildfire.

Be cautious about spreading misinformation by acting as its disseminator. No matter what the lies are, you are helping someone do not have your best interests at heart.
