San Francisco Chronicle that the request of residence to leave homes
in Mi Wuk Village for more of investigation then for safety as quoted
by Source at Save Mart and then confirmed by a former Fire Fighter of
Six River National Forest during The "CAMP" (Campaign Against
Marijuana Plantations) that as a Plantation was found a back burn was
done to burn out without Prescribe Burning Permit due the Quote
"Secret" information again without the Secrecy of Congress Committee
and such was done during "CAMP" is now suspect into the "Rim Fire" as
quote into by The San Francisco Chronicle as follows (09-04) 14:54
PDT YOSEMITE -- When a small-town fire chief suggested last month that
the Rim Fire was sparked by marijuana growers, the theory was quickly
seized upon as a leading explanation of the blaze.
The Aug. 23 comments of Twain Harte Fire Chief Todd McNeal were
circulated on YouTube and hyped on Twitter and Facebook, and his
speculation fueled media reports nationwide.
It turns out they all were probably wrong.
The U.S. Forest Service, which is leading the investigation of the
giant fire in and around Yosemite National Park, says the pot-grower
explanation is highly unlikely - because the fire's starting point in
the Clavey River canyon in the Stanislaus National Forest is hard to
get to, too steep for growing plants and doesn't have water for
irrigation.
"We do have problems with marijuana grow sites, but in this area it's
very difficult terrain," said Jerry Snyder, a forest service spokesman
who has worked in the area for 11 years.
Snyder and others involved in a multi-agency effort to root out the
cause of the Rim Fire, which on Wednesday had grown to 370 square
miles, have yet to provide their own definitive answers to the mystery
of what triggered the cause. And that's part of the problem.
In the absence of an explanation, rumors have spread.
McNeal told residents of the foothill community of Twain Harte, one of
the towns advised to evacuate because of the fire, that the blaze was
likely human-caused because there was no lightning when the fire
started: It's "highly suspected it might have been some sort of
illicit (marijuana) grove," he said.
McNeal could not be reached Thursday for comment.
The U.S. Forest Service has been trying to squelch the pot-farm theory
for nearly two weeks - and others, too.
The agency says there was no prescribed burning in the area, which
some have speculated could have ignited the fire. The agency also says
that federal drug agents were not working in the forest, countering
rumors that the federal government might have accidently lit the
blaze.
There are plausible theories still on the table, fire officials said -
but they declined to comment on which they're investigating.
The area where the fire started, about two miles northeast of the
community of Buck Meadows, outside Yosemite, is difficult to access,
but it's possible that someone was passing through and either
purposely or inadvertently started the trouble. An extreme backpacker
or a hunter in search of deer could have left behind a campfire or
failed to extinguish a cigarette.
The Clavey River, which empties into the nearby Tuolumne River, draws
kayakers - but water levels have been low this summer, so it's
unlikely that anyone was traveling by river, officials said.
Lighting was not reported in the area when the Rim Fire began Aug. 17.
That doesn't leave much room for a natural cause, though a rockslide
remains possibility, officials said.
"Have you every banged two rocks together and gotten a spark?" said Snyder.
Daniel Berlant, spokesman for the California Department of Forestry
and Fire Prevention, said the area was particularly fire-prone because
of the hot weather and long-parched landscape.
"Let's be realistic. When you have dry conditions, it doesn't take
much to start a fire," he said.
Fire officials reported Wednesday that they continue to make progress
battling the blaze. The fire is 80% contained and full containment is
expected by Sept. 20.
