Honeydew Volunteer Fire Company had their 36th annual Roll on the Mattole. This years line up was filled with amazing firefighters from Honeydew, Whale Gulch, Myers Flat, Petrolia and the brand new team from the Mattole Restoration Council saw crew! After a fierce battle, Petrolia took the Trophy home after a very close call with the MRC. All in all it was an amazing day of great music, great food and a very exciting firefighter muster! Great job everyone! Petrolia will keep the trophy safe.
