It was not a "wildfire". It was started by humans and their carelessness.

No comment on the fire being started by the train?

[@maybeebuzzy2265]

Interesting... why do you say this? I'd like more info.

[@wolfmantroy6601]

@@maybeebuzzy2265 The train went by and 10 min later a fire is blazing by the train tracks. It is obvious to everyone that saw the fire that it started at the RR tracks and went uphill. When I first saw the fire it was only about 20 acres. If they would have put it out then instead of studying it for an hour and a half it would have been out fast.
