I wonder if the fire was started by a fat, jilted forester, or if it was a Mexican spotted owl census-taker.

I understand your point...

but from what I hear, this was started by lightning.

this could get out of hand and cause major problems - but apparently there is a rapid escalation in fighting this fire - as evidenced by the call for a Type I incident management team.

quite a few resources already on the fire too. Hopefully temps will drop enough overnight to allow the fire to "sleep" and the firefighters to gain some headway.
