After I posted the pics the local news stated there was a hillside fire in
my home town...even though I didn't see any heavy smoke in the skies.
Anyway, it now makes sense.
A local news station reports that 99% of the fires in this area were
started by humans. The driving force with these fires are the 20 - 40 mph
winds...mix that with the usual careless indigent people living out in the
open in tents etc, it happens.
This pic was taken today at Cuyamaca State Park, Ca., where we used to go
camping when I was little.

Small brush fire near East County campground contained
OCTOBER 15, 2017
DESCANSO – A small brush fire near a campground in the San Diego County
mountains was nearly contained Sunday.
The blaze, first reported about 1:30 p.m. Saturday in Cuyamaca Rancho State
Park, was eight acres and 75 percent contained as of about 9 a.m. Sunday,
according to Cal Fire Capt. Kendal Bortisser. The fire was located near the
Green Valley Area Campground, off state Route 79 about 45 miles east of San
Diego.
Five engines were involved in battling the fire Sunday — down
“significantly” from Saturday, Bortisser said.
Firefighters stayed at the scene all Saturday night and were expected to
remain most of Sunday to finish off the blaze, Bortisser said.
