Whoever is first IC, incident commander, on the incident names the fire. They usually use the location origin of the fire. Wolf Creek becomes Wolf Fire. Camp Creek becomes Camp Fire. Etc. Etc.
Yes Hubby was a 34 year firefighter who fought many wildfires.
Just spoke with my oldest son who works at the hospital. He spent the day there moving patients out. I was just reading one news report about rescuing 6 people in the hospital basement. He was one of the ones in the basement which he just told me is actually a safe sealed bunker for such events.
Said the the whole time they were in there they were in contact with the fire dept whole told them to stay there where it was safe.
Anyway he is safe and back in Chico
