Just speculation about how it started, but originally thought to be a chimney fire, but BSVFB, upon arriving, thought it was more than that. Carmel and Carmel Highlands are on their way to assist BSVFB with this, but I would imagine, traffic will be an issue on this stretch of Highway One. For those of you not familiar with Wildbird, it is Margaret Owing’s old place.

  • Who has been playing with matches?
    BAD!

    Helloooo Kate.
    Hope you had a very wicked new years eve.

  • The fires out and most of the firetrucks have left the scene. The cause is still up in air.
    Traffic never backed up which is good.

  • Apparently whomever (Leo) was at the wild bird at the time of the fire is above everyone else and won't talk to investigators. Those statements could potentially prevent another fire in the future. I surmise that some people are just self important.
