There WAS a fire above Ripplewood last night. About an acre and 1/2. Still under investigation. It is called the Hartman fire, after the owner, but it was earlier misidentified as the Ripple Fire on WLF. Initial indications are it might have been an illegal campfire.

So, yesterday was a busy day – the Los Bueyes started around 2:15; the Gorda Fire (south of Gorda) around 3 pm, and the Hartman around 5 pm. All picked up quickly, the Los Bueyes lasting the longest.
