just seen the foxnews item: 'the fire has been smouldering since july.' it looks like it could have begun with the small funnel of smoke that I and others saw in the distance from the top of HD. how do the firefighters feel about the decision (not made by them) to 'let it burn'. am I correct in thinking that this is not the first time that a decision to let a 'controlled' burn has gone tits up?angry smiley

Pines, I don't think this was ever a "controlled" burn. It seems they let these (hopefully) natural fires burn until people or structures are threatened. There also seems to be strong support that some of these natural fires rage out of control now because they were suppressed for so many years. I just hope this fire didn't explode because of careless, or worse, humans.

If the whole place (Yosemite) burned down, someone somewhere would find something to sell: think of all those bags of charcoal!!Wizard
