The Numbers Fire, located near Gardnerville, NV, was determined by the investigators to be similarly caused.
It was the first time I had heard of it. They did not identify which semi caused the event, they made their determinations because this was next to a highway and they interpreted fire origins in multiple locations.
They also recovered what they determined to be carbon particles.
