  1. JB86, yes, it was a “houseless neighbor” fire. There’s a huge encampment right as you get off of the 101 northbound, it’s to the right and it was only a matter of time before it went up in flames, given the amount of trash accumulated in that spot.

  2. Yeah, most of the time these are not a big deal – almost practice for the fire people. What we need to worry about is an event in bad conditions – sundowners, wind, etc. With all the new development south of the 101, there is a growing risk that needs more abatement activity devoted to the camps. I don’t see that happening in any coherent way.
