Wildfire north of Rainbow Avenue?

Lac Le Jeune Residents:

Did you realize that the Le Jeune area has had a small wildfire? It appears that it was extinguished by someone during the evening of 22 August 2013. What brought it to my attention was the fresh moist ground next to the Lac Le Jeune Road, just north of Rainbow Avenue.

Was it a lightning strike that has been smouldering for days?

Was it caused by a wildlife photographer, who was standing on the bank within 30 feet of that wildfire site taking photos of the osprey?

The photographer was in that area some evening during last weekend or the early part of this week and may have been driving a small-size pickup with canopy.

Please people, commit yourself from smoking in our tinder dry forests.
