Yeah, me too. I thought that he was out of the business though. Did anyone try to contact him?

Well, the Station fire is interesting local news, but I'm well west of the action, upwind by the prevailing winds. This is a large fire without the hot desert Santa Ana winds fanning it, or it might have given tons of trouble to the LA 'burbs. We've gotten a very hazed horizon and we've seen the top of the smoke cloud (very far to the east, but anomalously located, not blowing away, otherwise looking a lot like any cumulus cloud) but that's been it. Hardly even a smell of smoke, and no ashfalls.

The second half of this story begins in about 4 months. This is expected to be an El Niño year, which means massive rainstorms for LA. All of the ground cover and root systems that normally hold our mountains in place just burned to the ground.
There are going to be catastrophic mud slides in the affected areas if El Niño hits.

Latest reports now say they confirm it was arson. Great.

Sana Ana wind season (even though they haven't hit yet, it's that time of year) and all of the crazies come out with their matches - The ones in Yucaipa and Riverside were confirmed as arson too. I say tie them to the stake and light a match........

The Station Fire started in the Angeles National Forest, 39 miles out from "the city," about a mile from the nearest ranger station or picnic area - no power lines, no lightning, just a scenic turn out. My guess is a stray cigarette out a window. Happens a lot up there. (Good make out spots. So I've heard...)
