Fillmore • In the air in Fillmore, you can see the smoke, but along Canyon Road, you can see the support from residents who are making sure those fighting the flames know they are not alone.

Neighbors have placed handmade signs outside of their homes thanking firefighters and others battling the blaze.

“We watch people drive up, firemen, and everybody that’s involved in [fighting] the fire,” said Karilyn Shields. “We watch them drive up and down all day, and it’s a constant reminder of how many people are up there.”

The signs took on an even deeper meaning after a helicopter fighting the Widemouth 2 Fire crashed Friday morning. Crews recovered the bodies of the two pilots Saturday afternoon.

As the community honors the fallen, resident Joe Tarbet says he and his neighbors are preparing for what nature may do next by working to fill sandbags, while also compiling something for the families of those on board the helicopter.
