“As the heavy fire was destroyed, Ashcroft Fire was able to cool the environment and burned area with engine 3 and tender 4.
“Ashcroft Ranch’s tender was also at the scene.
“When all units are combined, roughly 4800 gallon water was roughly put into an area of 60×90 meters. It is safe to say that this area is significantly cooled.
“A quick investigation revealed the cause of this fire.
“It was determined that there was a fish, yes, you read it correctly, thinking that it was 3 km from the origin point of the river.
“The fish had fallen into a hydro line by a local Oscrey, which caused the embers to fall into the following dry grass with the fish.
“We suspect the size of the fish, and the temperature of the day probably caused the very tired bird to catch.
“Or another suspicion may be tired of raw fish and wants to try to cook.
