Judah Collins, a firefighter with the California Conservation Corps, became a victim of theft while battling the Park Fire, which has grown to over 425,000 acres, making it the fourth-largest fire in California's history. After saving for two years to purchase a 2006 Ford Ranger, Collins left his vehicle at the CCC facility while on a firefighting shift, only to discover later that it had been stolen. Despite reporting the incident to the police, his insurance did not cover the loss, prompting friends and community members to start a fundraiser to help him replace the vehicle. Meanwhile, in a separate incident, a dump truck was stolen from the Decatur Park District, and a man was arrested in Redding for stealing a cooler from a Cal Fire truck during the same time period. The community's response highlights the solidarity for those fighting wildfires amidst rising crime incidents affecting emergency service personnel.
