Probably not that warm haha. But yeah I’d bet most of these cabin fires lately are related… seems to be a lot of them. Also could be un-local workers who don’t know how to be fire safe. Damn it’s not looking good for the rain this year.

it’s getting so cold at night, and the days are less than half the time, this is the tail end of fire season. It seems almost impossible to get the fire behavior of July and August.
