This is a commissioned work I finished in 2022. This painting is of two buildings and a fire truck of Station 16 at the Nacimiento Station in the Los Padres National Forest that were decimated by the Dolan Fire of 2020. This is the fire that swept thru these coastal mountains in California and totally destroyed the Fire Station shown on the left and the Barracks on the right side of this painting. Caption Richard Murdock and a crew of about seven personnel escaped with their lives but their pet cat, Diablo, did not survive, but lives on as he is shown sitting on the left side of the large Los Padres National Forest sign.
This painting is a tribute to the many brave men and women who have fought many fires and saved many lives over the years as they are the ones who "run toward the danger while the rest of us can run away."
Thanks to all of these brave people!
