Camp site unattended? Be careful out there camping we have to much dry everything.we need to bring back smokey the bear!!!ONLY YOU CAN PREVENT FOREST FIRES
Always possible, but no mention of a campfire. Perhaps the Klamath Arsonist(s) has struck again. Just as with religious terrorists, someone knows who the firebug is but keeps pretending otherwise.
Some houses thru there, maybe someone’s burn pile?
Even though Fire restrictions are on, some people think they can just ignore them and do whatever they want…
I hope it’s contained soon.
Well crud. Thought we would be fire free this summer. Hope the fire is put out and the cause determined. May the crews be safe and wise. Appreciate the notice of the fire Kym. And thank you Angela for your timely reporting as well.
