An update about yesterday’s multiple brush fires along HWY 101 between Deer Park Rd and Blyn - the FD3 fire investigator met with DNR investigators and after visiting all of the burn locations, the most likely cause is sparks from a vehicle. Whether that was chains or a truck’s diesel exhaust system is uncertain. However, no chain scrape marks were found on the roadway near the ignition sites.
Human caused? Yes.
Vehicle caused? Probably.
Given the multitude of questions and speculation after the fires yesterday, hopefully this helps clear some things up.
Big picture - it only takes a spark to create big problems. Enjoy the great weather and stay safe out there.
