The image modifies the California state flag by replacing the bear with a firefighter version of Smokey Bear holding a hose and spraying water. Flames replace the lower section beneath the text CALIFORNIA REPUBLIC. The bear wears a yellow helmet marked FD and yellow turnout gear while kneeling in a dynamic pose. This responds to the January 2025 Los Angeles area wildfires including Pacific Palisades and Altadena.
