The arson may be someone who ridicules triathletes and follows this thread too closely...?

Trailer chains are a classic cause. Problematic because mountain roads are generally at the bottom of canyons so the fire gets to start out making an uphill run.
So sorry about the pilot. Dangerous job.

It's that time of the year again.
04/14/2015 1445
CA-PNF Ward Fire: 195 acres burning in timber, 40% contained. Fire is located 10 miles Southeast of Taylorsville, CA.
It seems reasonable to assume that the Sierra range will continue to see more megafires in the coming months.

It's common for parts of CA to have fires most all the year round.
It sounds like they caught this particular fire.
04/14/2015 1730
CA-PNF Ward Fire: 157 acres burning in timber, 70% contained. Reduction in acreage due to more accurate mapping.
I'm not familiar with this locale, but what caught my attention was a "timber" fire of this size this early in the year. Factors are lining up for it be an epic fire season in the mountain country of CA.

Just heard on the radio there were dozens of lightning ground strikes today in far north California. More fires may magically appear over the next few days.

khanom and wife (dagnabbit I can't remember her name) are as humble and fine a couple as there is. Hopefully they'll be at Facelift again with a load of organic veggies to share.
