Riding a tactical vehicle, California Army National Guardsmen from 1st Battalion, 160th Infantry Regiment, pass a commemorative sign at Bret Harte High School in Angels Camp, California, en route to the hills and mountains during the Butte Fire in Calaveras County, California. A massive display of gratitude from communities, towns and cities affected by wildfires is shown as California Guardsmen continue supporting the public under the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) guidance. Operating under Task Force 40th Brigade Support Battalion, these state Soldiers were heading to the San Andreas hills to continue mop up and clean up operations as well as retrieve miles and miles of fire hoses. In just over a week, the Butte Fire destroyed more than 70,000 acres and over 500 homes and buildings. “We’re touched by the support these communities are giving us,” said Command Sgt. Maj. Rodney Plamondon, task force senior enlisted advisor. ( Army National Guard photo by Staff Sgt. Eddie Siguenza)
