The tree did not catch on fire by itself. How did this happen? More information in you reports please. Yet another human caused carelessness like 95% of Cal Fires, I presume, but it should be made clear. What is the use of reporting only part of the information?
More poor, cover-up lack reporting by Michael Brown, Meleniak, etc.! Luckily the Vagrants didn’t cause another catastrophic wild fire! They need to always report/tell the truth/facts—stop the enabling of horrible behaviors!
