From my friend, Mark Ruggiero:
It’s starting to burn into the Garcia wilderness where there is no [prior] documented fire. So it’s going to be a long haul along with the new one in LA.
Here are some photos for you taken on the northern end near avenales at the headwaters of the Salians river. La Panza mts. And a nite shot from Monday.
All credit to Mark Ruggiero, except the last one which is credited to the Chumash Fire Department.
Thanks for the photos. I love WD for the updates they give on the various fires going on, but they don’t say what started the fire since they have not had time to investigate. I was wondering where one can find the reports that show what caused these wildfires. We have had several small local fires just this year that were taken care of quickly but I would like to know what started them. Any suggestions?
Sally – Gifford was started by someone driving on the rim of his wheels. I wish I had taken a screen shot, but it was on the chp website that I monitor. He called it in himself. It started as 4 separate fires.
🙁
Please watch for wildlife fleeing the fires and put out fresh water daily. This is just so heartbreaking 💔
