Can we please have one windy day without a brush fire? Is that too much to ask?
Apparantly this one started as a dumpster fire. Seriously? Can’t rule out arson, but i’m going with stupidty on this one.
Actually it wasn’t a dumpster at all, it was a dump trailer… Secondly, this was no accident! After the explosion, a neighbor looked out and saw a white truck cloning down the backside of their mountain. Fortunately my mother and father in law were not home at the time!!!
No not stupidity at all!!! It was Arson. After the explosion a near by neighbor saw a white truck leaving my mother in laws property on their back road. So please get all the facts before making a false judgement about something or someone! Ohh and btw it wasn’t a dumpster. It was a dump trailer…
The fire would have never happen if Edison had cut off our power again . Everyone knows fires don’t happen when we are all sitting in the dark and unable to make toast.
