That’s pretty unusual, considering the rain we just had. I can’t imagine that kicking back up.

Looks like he’s in the Eucalyptus trees right behind the high school, or, on the other side of the former Jr high football field. Being very oily trees, they could have harbored a few embers tucked inside.
