The cause of this particular fire was, sadly enough, the good intentions of a participant in the Rainbow Festival that was being held at the site. For ecological reasons, she burned toilet paper she had used so as not to leave it in nature, and in normal circumstances, that would have been the thing to do. However, due to the strong winds and the unseasonable hot air, the dry grasses caught on fire immediately, and the fire spread in four different directions simultaneously.

Steve how can you keep posting new stories after this one? It took me a good hour to control my fits of laughter. Family thought I was going crazy until they read it, we all laughed for ages.
Anyway, this chick isn’t a genuine bona fide environmentalist. Coz if she was, she’d have used a leaf instead of toilet paper.
Yea, there’s nothing like the smell of burnt used toilet paper in the morning.
Starting fires in bone dry forests is par for the course for global warming mental midgets.
Obviously she didn’t follow Sheryl Crow’s 1 sheet advice.
Maybe she did – poop is used as a fire fuel in parts of the world. She just made her one sheet a torch instead of fertilizer.
All she has to do is buy CO2 offsets and eco harmony will be restored as if it never even happened. It’s like an eco mulligan. I’m sure Greenpeace will explain how man made CO2 caused this fire as they have blamed the fire on global warming.
_______ happens.
Gump? Was that you!
Now if Sheryl Crow had been there, she could have demonstrated how to drag your butt thru the grass like a canine to avoid the need for TP.
LOL!
Wasn’t this refered to as the “Charmin Fire”?
When are you going to post on the “Dear Jane” fire?
