The smoke from that fire was black when it started.
With binoculars from waaaaay down the hill it looked like a pickup truck might have burned…
I thought I heard a vehicle also burned but couldn’t confirm it.
A pick up was burned a bit.
I’m sorry to hear that, but glad the structure was saved. I sounded a bit harry there for a bit.
Crazy a truck burned. I’m surprised THE TRÉS wasn’t there making sure it was good.
