Man Arrested for Escaped Burn Which Destroyed Two Structures and a Vehicle
This is a press release from Cal Fire. The information has not been proven in a court of law and any individuals described should be presumed innocent until proven guilty:
On October 28th, 2020, at approximately 4:00 PM, CAL FIRE Humboldt – Del Norte Unit Emergency Command Center (ECC) received a report of a fire involving a vegetation fire impacting structures at the end of Highway 169 in the community of Johnsons. The fire was contained to 1 1/2 acres of vegetation with two structures and one commercial vehicle destroyed. Evidence at scene showed the fire originated in the vegetation then spread to the structures and the commercial vehicle. The fire was determined to be caused by an escaped illegal debris burn conducted by the resident of the property.
The resident, Louie Meyers, was booked into the Humboldt County Detention Center on the following charges:
- PC 452 (c) Reckless burning
- PC 454 (a) (2) Reckless burning during a declared State of Emergency
- PC 4423.5 Burning during a burn suspension
The CAL FIRE Humboldt – Del Norte Unit would like to remind the public the burn suspension is still in effect. While cooler temperatures have become more prevalent, heavier vegetative fuels remain critically dry and will continue to carry fire. Burn permits are required year-round by the North Coast Unified Air Quality Management District, and, depending on the time of year and pile size, may also be required by CAL FIRE. Contact the Air Quality Management District at (707) 443-3093 or the nearest CAL FIRE facility for more information on burn permits.

Dude the shirt is just too ironic not to point out.
Troof
Your right about the shirt boy you couldn’t make this shit up no matter how hard you tried….
Yeah, Tarantino would laugh you off the writing team. Another script ripped from the headlines. Can’t make this shit up!
There is dumb, and then there is stupid. This guy is both
Smoke wasn’t thick enough he decided to liven things up.
Only on Kyms site de we see such stupendous irony in the characters. Loving it.
Wonder what he considers second hand smoke must of only took him a second to light it I guess 😂😂😂😂😂😂
This guy wasn’t smart to be burning at all and it is super dangerous, but at least he was trying to do it for a semi- productive reason. Illegal fireworks continue to be shot off everywhere each night for no other reason than for kicks and there are 0 consequences. I’d love to see some enforcement action there if we’re worried about fires.
