While driving by Apple Tree CG at approx 7:00 am I was stopped by contactors doing work for USFS and informed of a tree on fire above the CG.

Upon further investigation we found a tree that I believe someone set on fire last night. The tree had burned through and fallen over and was still burning with open flames.

ANF , LA County and SB County all responded and were taking care of the problem as I left.

THANKS fire fighters from all agencies.

During our patrols, AppleTree Campground is notorious for people having large or illegal out of the fire ring campfires. 

They often drag 6 to 8 foot logs across the fire in an attempt to burn it from one end to the other, feeding it into the fire as they go.

ANF was dispatched on a similar incident just this past weekend.

Like a Yule log.

Like a Yule log.

Or more like a FOOL log.
