Six fires today in and around the Valley. Coinciding with a big bust to the west. Hmmm.
Except that the first five were in relation to a commercial logging operation.

actually, they only mention one started in a logging slash pile. nothing at all about it being started by logging operations. Just one of them was started by a vehicle fire.
