Late last summer fires were banned in all the state parks in WA too, but for
(mostly non-existent) wild fire risk.

Makes one wonder what the New York Times is doing publishing articles about
California beaches. Don't they have their own beaches to 'beach' about?

So far, we are still keeping our fire rings in Northern California. Just
waiting around for the next BurningVan.
