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.

Two figures appear with heads and upper bodies hidden by dense smoke clouds. The figure on the left states that climate change caused the fires producing the smoke. The figure on the right replies that the connection is not visible. The scene shows lower bodies in casual clothing and shoes on a ground surface. Smoke swirls fill the upper portion of the image. The website address appears near the bottom right.
