Was this another Vagrant (homeless to those lied to & fooled with PC speak) fire?
It is amazing how frequently this area and off Calgrove has a fire and we never hear a cause.
Probably another idiot who thought it was smart to throw the cigarette out the car window.
Really,
Yah howie, that’s what is was.
ps hiett
As one who works for LA County Fire Dept., you would be surprised by how many brush fires are caused by the guy who throws out his burning cigarette butt as he driving.
Besides the homeless, whom do take some responsibility in starting many of fires that we are are having these days..
But, again, the butt (pun intended) does start many of our fires..
True, low class/quality smokers and Vagrants cause many problems in decent societies! When/why don’t they get their acts together?!
