Homeless set accidental fire near freeway 58? - By N.L. Belardes


Bakersfield firemen take care of business

I was on my way home from Edwards Theatre around 4pm when smoke was spotted near Hughes and Brundage Lane. Looked like some foliage along the 58 freeway had been set ablaze. Nothing to worry about. Engine six from the Bakersfield Fire Department were on the scene in no time and put the blaze out. One bystander thought the fire was set by two homeless people who ran from the scene.

Makes you wonder about the homeless in Bakersfield. There have been recent articles on Bakotopia and taking clothes out to the mayor of Beach Park to distribute. I even filmed a tent on the Kern riverbed recently. Looked like some really young folks were living there... Let's hope the homeless people in Bakersfield stay warm this winter season during their tough times.


Thanks Engine Six!

    ok here's the rules folks:
    1. single entry comment
    2. song has to have the word "fire" in it.
    let's see if we can break the all time "comment" number on N.L.'s blog before the end of the year(not much time ya'll!).
    ready,set,go...

    crap! My mind went blank. All I can think of now is N.L. and his fireman suspenders and hat and wondering if he's freezing.

    Put some clothes on for the love of God. You're gonna catch a cold.
