Do they know, or suspect, a cause? Drove by earlier and they had the goats clearing the lot. Hope none were harmed. Or did the Billy’s take a smoke break and cause the fire?
Almost all vegetation fires in Antioch are stared by the homeless.
I’m sure the tree didn’t light itself! How many fires have the homeless started since late May? I think at least two per week!
