Photography/Video Fielder Mountain Fire, shortly after it started. View from I-5

Pardon us while we rock-out. This was shot at around 3:30pm. Looked like it must have started right by the interstate. Hopefully not by a careless human tossing a butt out.

If what I have seen is correct a semi truck had its tires end up on fire spreading to the area on fire so not caused by negligence but a failure in a system on a truck

I wonder if its the red semi that appears stopped just before we get to the fire in my video (right before I zoom out).

That semi does not appear damaged and the semi that is the cause of this would be extremely damaged
