A California State Representative, Doug LaMalfa, called out the food vendors providing meals to firefighters in Siskiyou County on Twitter,

The representative posted photos of a moldy cheese sandwich and beans and rice on bread that he says was being served in the Klamath National Forest to firefighters battling wildfires in the area.
