I know the area. Who started this fire? Fires do not start by themselves at 6:11 PM on a day with no wind!
I saw this fire right after it started: it was only a few feet long when I called it in. My belief is that someone threw a cigarette out their window cause I didn’t see anyone walking away or Anything.
I think every place where we have native, dry vegetation should have a security camera mounted in such an area where you can see cars and people moving close to it. If a person did toss a cigarette into the dry brush, they should be caught and punished severely. This is unacceptable. Cars have ashtrays for that.
