Yeah, this is definitely not a prescribed burn. Prescribed burns do not typically occur when it’s very windy or need extra fire trucks and helicopters, and especially water dropping planes. Glad they changed the title. Hope the firefighters can put it out quickly
Forward progress stopped at 4.23 acres
Thank you firefighters
I see nothing not even smoke
