There will be a press release at 3 pm to release information about the cause of the Soberanes Fire. I will post here.
ILLEGAL, UNATTENDED CAMPFIRE WAS THE CAUSE OF THE SOBERANES FIRE
The illegal campfire that started the Soberanes Fire (57 homes destroyed, one firefighter fatality, over 43,000 acres burned) was discovered at 8:45 a.m. on Friday, July 22, a few miles from the highway on the Soberanes Trail in Garrapata State Park. While state, federal and local officials look for the people responsible for igniting that campfire, they are asking the public to call 1-800-468-4408 with ANY big or minor details that could help.
Let’s get these irresponsible, uncaring, unconscious idiots, folks. SHARE. PUBLICLY.

I'm SO PISSED OFF!!!!!!!!!! I hope the selfish idiot/s who started that campfire are identified and severely punished for the devastation they have caused. A**HOLES!!!!!!!!
As Gomer Pyle would have said: "I knew it, I knew it, I knew it."
Time to post a big $$ reward for information and see if anybody remembers seeing anybody or anything.
Yes! @windyhill
They know who they are., and they have to live with knowing what they did, how horrible...
Maybe they are so whacked out they don't even know what they did. We will probably never know.
I love the reward idea
Inconsiderate, selfish, clueless humans. I can't believe I'm the same species (damn bell curve). Thank goodness our end of the gene pool is resilient
If any of the many residents of Palo Colorado Canyon Road happens to have a home surveillance video camera that picked up road traffic for that time period, it wouldn't take too much effort for investigators to narrow down the search.
And don't forget, a life was lost in this fire. Sounds like criminal negligence and charges should be brought. If they can only find the perpetrator . . .
