[COMMENT: Several mutual aid fire agencies (CalFire, Loleta VFD, etc) remain in Eureka either at the 4th St scene or covering HBF stations while original companies rotate out to rehab or re-equip their apparatus. Several reserve HBF engines also remain staffed by called-in off-duty HBF personnel. Typically this may take several hours to wind down. Humboldt Bay Fire equipment are all numbered in “81-xx” series. Any other numbers indicate other agencies. I’ll put together and post a countywide list one of these days for anyone who’s interested.]
