  14. thank you YubaNet! I donated <3 I'm so worried about these last two fires, Sunday Oak fire and this one, close to my home. WHAT THE HECK are people doing out there? They both say cause 'under investigation' any further word?

  15. God bless all the responders to these fires. The Oak fire a few days ago, now this one at Wolf and LimeKiln.
    You are in my prayers for safty and getting there quickly, putting them out
    Safely. Thank you Air and Ground responders.

    1. a third one reported today in alta sierra/limekiln area – on alexandra way (put out very quickly 🙂

      so that is 3 in less than a week – suspicious or not? …anyone know the cause(s)?

      1. All different causes, there is no reason to believe an arsonist is running around and causing these fires. In this world of instant gratification, you will hear about every small incident – immediately.

  16. and this is why I insist that we have the best Fire fighters in the world! Nice stats- 0 structures 100% contained at 5.6 acres. Love these guys!
