⚠️ Fire Safety Reminder ⚠️

This photo was taken today in front of our store.

A cigarette butt was left on an old wooden structure and started to smolder. Thankfully, it was discovered and put out before it could become a larger fire.

As many of you know, Chinese Camp experienced a devastating fire last year, and our hotel was one of the buildings that was lost. Because of that experience, fire safety is something we take very seriously.

We are not trying to blame anyone. We simply want to remind everyone how quickly a fire can start from something as small as a cigarette butt.

Please help protect our community by making sure ci******es are completely extinguished and disposed of properly. During the dry season, one small spark can have devastating consequences.

Thank you for helping keep Chinese Camp safe and protecting our homes, businesses, history, and beautiful community. ❤️

Please do not throw cigarette butts on the ground or onto wooden structure

filled my feeders this morning with fresh homemade nectar (just 3 cups water + 1 cup sugar, no coloring), and look what happened… so many beautiful hummingbirds came to visit!

The flowers are starting to bloom, the air feels different, and you can really feel that spring is on the way. Moments like this make my heart so happy. 💕

If you want to help hummingbirds, it’s so easy — just clean feeders and fresh nectar. They will find you!

Nature is such a gift. Today was full of tiny wings and big joy. ✨
