Wanted to say worse. Hard to discern by looking at him whether he's lucid or not. Any open fire in CA after March of every year seems foolish.

that mug shot turned up from.

Fool was running a burn pile.

Here was the details of the fire which started around Noon on July 5:

I live here. We all understood that burn season had ended weeks earlier. No idea what he would have been thinking.

in the 2 weeks following the beginning of that fire we had almost daily thunderstorms and ground strikes from lightning which started numerous small fires. Mercifully, technology allows the fire departments to pinpoint via GPS where those strikes occurred and were able to inspect and knock them down promptly.

That was then followed by these:

Carr fire (now @ 94% containment)

Hat Fire (done / extinguished)

Natchez Fire

In the midst of all of that, we have had numerous illegal camping fires, and this started due to the idiot truck driver who tried to pass traffic. Half a mile from my home.

The smoke, the anxiety, the constant need to keep windows closed and wear masks outside, I can't begin to tell you how much this Summer sucks. We are all running around with some level of PTSD at the moment.

I'm east of you, in Modoc County. We've been smoked in here for two months plus now. It's very oppressive, doing outdoor stuff is limited.

I sent you a PM.

When I lived out there on the far eastern side of Fresno County, you had to get a burn permit every year from the county. Burn season was strictly regulated. Ended mid-April, if I remember right.

Doing anything else, in this climate, is just idiotic and dangerous as hell.
