It is unlawful to interfere with firefighters in California and many other jurisdictions, as state and local laws often prohibit actions that obstruct, hinder, or resist firefighters in the performance of their duties. These firefighters were at the site of a major fire here in California. Violations are typically classified as misdemeanors, though some actions, particularly those involving violence or threats, can be charged as felonies. https://codes.findlaw.com/ca/penal-code/pen-sect-148-2/
