No,it isn’t in the same general area as the arson fire earlier this month. It’s almost 20kms away.
It was only a matter of time a fire ignited up there. The amount of people and vehicles climbing it is incredible.
I can’t thank Opinion 250 enough with all the coverage they’ve done about these devastating wildfires, absolutely the most incredible coverage I have ever seen. Yuh done good!. A trusted news source in my book and that says a lot with what I’ve seen in media.
