“Lit Up”

Massive wildfires burning in Santa Barbara County are believed to have been started by marijuana growers who abandoned an outdoor cooking fire. This is highly suspicious on its own, since an open flame isn’t needed for Pop Tarts or Doritos.

Though the dangerous fires are not yet contained, firefighters are optimistic and increasingly mellow.

Firefighters have described the blaze as “bright and pretty,” and the smoke as “intense, a little harsh at first, but the cloud-like puffs make really cool shapes.”
