Just walked past there from Target. All the trucks are staged at foot of V. Fire is way out. Hard to get to. First tanker ran out of water no doubt. Several others called.
Thank you for the update.
Kym, sorry off the subject. I have mens sweaters I’d like to donate for the homeless. I live in Redcrest, I’m thinking can you give me info because you have a handle of our area.
Thank you

Hard to get to? Looking at the map, it seems flat with a road all the way around it!
Must have been a lightning strike… eh?
This property is owned by Rob Arkley. SECURITY NATIONAL.
And your point? [edit]
Dollars to donuts this was caused by another homeless camp fire.
More than a few fires at the edge of the bay lately.
The location of these fires is related to the cause.
Nobody is talking about the cause, they are guessing
and blaming without a clue.
If you pull your head out of the hole you are in and look around the world today
you will see many unusual fires especially near the harbors.
Why? Telling you why is hopeless, you would rather stay ignorant!
Spoken like a politician, lot of talk with no real answer, maybe someone lit it in hopes to burn off this fog to see the eclipse
Great reply [edit]
>”… hopes to burn off this fog to see the eclipse”
Well, they needed to light a bigger one.
IMHO: Fire department should burn off all the areas along the bay.
