Fire at Rainforest Adventures

Just saw a video of the fire going on now on Facebook.

Looked fishy to me like 721 fire too.

This was NOT a major fire and may have been caused by careless disposal of smoking material at a party at this location last night.

Lesley--I wondered about the 721 fire. Are you aware if there is any investigation going on into that fire?

The videos I’ve seen it looks pretty major.

Same here.

Yes very much so .

Yes very much serious doings .

Scuba what FB page?

Jeff Burgers site has an Arial view on a U tube LinkHERE
And also there is a close up Video in the comments on the U Tube post on his site.

I wonder how they fought this thing. Is there a road going up there?

Same YouTube link I posted earlier.
There was a video of the actual fire that the picture above came from I can't figure out how to post.

Exactly. I have the video of the burning decks - it was texted to me but can’t figure out how to post it either

Here is a Facebook link to a photographer that took pictures of the party - amazing party - but what if fire broke out during it.

If there is a share option on your phone for texts you could copy the link through that. I can do that on my Android. Hold finger on Video link and the share option should pop up.

Try this. It's posted on a private page I belong to but appears to be by a public poster.

Yup!! B has it on her own page as well. Crazy

According to this morning's Daily Herald, it was a bush fire that destroyed the deck by the bar. The firefighters went up the ski lift with water bags and were able to refill them from a small water reservoir at the site. Took 5-6 hours to extinguish.

Surprised it was a brush fire, since, from what I understand, it has been pretty wet recently.

The way the wind blows up there, it would dry out in no time after a rain shower or two.

OK. Never been up there myself. Scared of heights!!
