Nakia Creek fire caused by gunfire?

[nobamaplease]

I've heard that the Nakia Creek fire (SW Washinhton - East of Vancouver) might of started due to gun fire, I hope that's not the case!
Check out this video from the Clark Co. fire marshal site.
(https://clark.wa.gov/community-deve...sistance-identifying-persons-vehicle-interest)
The fire marshal wants to ID the people in the video.

it shows a white SUV and what sounds like gunfire as the fire is just starting.
There's an short zoomed in shot of the vehicle and smoke.

We all need to be fire WISE during the dry months, even during hunting season, like deer hunting just open on Sat.
I don't think these people was hunting!

There is clearly a flare or other smoking object arcing up from about 20yds in front of the truck Early in the video.

Spent all Sunday evacuating people out of there. Hope whoever started it is satisfied.

This could very well be where the fire started. Whether it was from those people shooting, a vehicle passing by that threw out a burning cigarette, or some other cause, is yet to be determined.

I drove up to Skamania Mines Rd and the Deputies didn't let me in. So I gave them my phone number and said I'll help evacuate anyone who needs help. Drove around a while and talked to several people who were loading up, but no one needed help. Then drove up to Ireland Rd and they wouldn't let me in there either. Same with Livingston Rd. Finally went home after a visit by Camp Bonneville.

I should have hooked up with you, if I had known.

You can see the smoke just down from that road in the bottom of the picture.
From the perspective of the photo, it looks like the fire is up near the road, and just down the side. From where they are parked it seems they would likely be shooting downhill towards that log blocking the spur road. Seems to me to be kind of odd throwing a round up the hill towards the road. But then again, some people do odd things.

Also, who ever blocked off that spur road with a log, at that distance from a place to park, should be shot! It encourages people to shoot there because it looks like it's supposed to be a backstop for shooting. Lots of people don't know that shooting into downed logs, stumps and trees can start fires.

I shoot in that forest, called DNR a year ago and asked about shooting in the Burn since we had a good rain after our usual dry summer.

I don't think they closed it last year. They have in the past though. However, I may have PCS (Pandamnit Confusion Syndrome) and can't keep the years sorted out!

It does look like a flare being thrown from the group and shot at!
If that's true, they're a bunch of idiots!
You would think the person that's filming would have call 911, maybe they did?

No matter where the log sits, people will use it as a back stop to shoot at.
The guy who placed the log is not the one who should be shot.

Good catch on this. You're totally right and it's almost like it was thrown.

That object is liquid.

Edit to add...its container could be used to help identify the person in the truck/suv.

 

[nobamaplease]

Looking at it closer, it does seem like it's liquid.
Not sure if it survives the fire to help ID, same goes for any shot shell or other casings

Well okay. A slap on the wrist and shoot the other guy!

I don't seen anything except the car

It's to the left, in the picture, and real faint. But yeah, the car is facing it.

But the smoke, from the fire up the hill, was happening before that object was thrown.

 

[nobamaplease]

I don't seen anything except the car

It happens in the first 2 seconds of the 1st video about 4 car lengths in front of the vehicle.
It does look like a container of liquid shot and the liquid flashes out - not smoke

A small fire starts and people are near, maybe I'm jumping to conclusions…

Just like Covid 19 and the nearby wuhan lab that's messing with Covid virus, but no, it didn't come from the lab - it came from the wet market in town.

I grabbed up this guy who said he could flag an intersection for us. He was a big help.

"Clark County Fire Marshal's Office said persons of interest in this fire investigation were setting off pyrotechnics, which they believe started the fire."
