Memorial Park Fire

Post by iamjacobm »

A friend told me a part of Memorial Park was on fire a little while ago? Anyone know anything?

Just saw a video looks like it is on the big hill. Actually a pretty large burnt area.

Anyone know what caused it?

We're under a fire danger warning. Brush fires can start a number of ways and get out of control quickly. Probably since this was a city park, humans were the cause.

I was wondering what the 'red flag' warning was on my phone.
