From my home off Rivera, I can say that there is a huge change in what I see now, vs one hour ago. Now, I only see dull embers burning. I no longer see the bright orange ring of fire we saw before

Nice photo Chuck,
Is there any confirmation of cause? I read fireworks were being lit off yesterday. That information didn't mention a location of the fireworks. Looking at incident reports it either didn't happen or it wasn't called in to report the fireworks.
