The name refers to the area/trail, but its called that due to the gas pipeline that runs through it. To my knowledge, none of that infrastructure actually caught on fire, but it was certainly a risk! The smoke was all from a very dry forest that lit up like a tinderbox. It was accidentally started by an unhoused man living in the surrounding woods while trying to burn toilet paper.. Since the wind speed was high that day, it spread very quickly. I watched the fire climb from the base of that peak to the top in like 30 minutes.
