Is / was that the ridge with the world famous observatory?
No, Mt. Lukens. The observatories are on Mt. Wilson.

No, but I've read news reports that say it's suspicious.

Crazy... its always omething stupid... I dont watch the news a whole lot, so I'm wondering how harsh are punishments for the people who are caught starting fires that get this bad/serious? Im sure probably not near as harsh as they should be. Im glad though you are still safe raptor!

Arson is a felony and the deaths of the firemen will only add to the charges if they find the responsible party(s).


Sounds like they might be making headway on the fire, stay safe!
