A fireman starts the Soda Creek fire, multiple recent violations of the burning bans. I used to be more concerned about people down the hill coming up here and starting fires. Now I'm more concerned about people up here starting them. There is absolutely NO EXCUSE. I hope anyone caught faces severe penalities. They don't even deserve the right to live up here.
I believe a slow pit roast is in order!
I carry, and if I see anybody doing something stupid, well...
Also I reported an unmaned burn, and was told "It's ok he's got a permit." I said "He left the fire there is nobody to watch it. "I'M SURE HE'LL BE RIGHT BACK!" was my answer. WTF!!!
"Worley confirmed that he started some fires on Friday, March 18. He said he had permission for the burn from the Evergreen Fire Protection District and that he checked all the piles and poured snow on them to make sure they were out at the end of that day.
In the seven years he has worked for Payne, Worley has burned about 1,200 such piles of wood, he said."
Only 1200 such fires in the last seven years? ThatS only 171 fires per year on this property. Can't figure out what went wrong.

I had that happen TPP. I called and they said he had a burn permit. I insisted that they come check it because I didn't see any fire suppression equipment either.

the good news is that we have this forum to keep an eye peeled and can track anything going on. I think we are in much better shape that most mountain communities.
