I am dying to know if they passed the test?

Two things to think about:
1) There is no proof that the fire was started by the power tools, therefor you get a situation like the Tea Fire. "Most likely" is not guilty. Someone could have tossed a cigarette right where the gnomes were working. A piece of glass could have magnified the sun into a hot spot. etc. My guess is whoever was working on the trails might not even be able to tell you exactly how the fire started, just that they happen to be up there.
2) People want someone to blame so bad it becomes a witch hunt of sorts. There is little incentive to "come out" and face this. Look at the guy who started the sycamore fire with the kite. Apparently the neighbors chased him out of town.

Tribalism has a very adaptive effect in human evolution. Humans are social animals, and ill-equipped to live on their own. Tribalism and ethnocentrism help to keep individuals committed to the group, even when personal relations may fray. This keeps individuals from wandering off or joining other groups. [from wikipedia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tribalism]
You figure it out!

There is conflicting news regarding the open status of the trails. Look for clarification on this matter and heed the request of the residence in any trail head parking areas.

Sorry for you if you had a personal loss. Very sorry for you for manifesting and harboring such anger. If I was religious I would pray for you, but I am not so I will have positive thoughts that you may one day find a way to let this go in a non vengeful manner so you can find peace. Justis or Karma will take its due course. The universe is good that way.

When comments like this get posted I suspect that keeps the authorities much more interested in protecting the accused.

Could it be from chemicals. Pesticides or Fire Retardant?

Ray - have you talked to Frank yet about the trail maintenance on Romero? There is no more vegetation within 3-5 feet of the trail on either side thanks to the MTF hiring gardeners to weed whack the trails. Good by lilies.

Thanks for reporting this. I am sure many people saw the work being done and passed it off as official trail work. If more people know there is rogue work being done they might be more apt to find out if it is official work and report it if not. Also thanks for keeping this user type neutral. There are only two kinds of users in my opinion, responsible/sharing and irresponsible/selfish.
It is amazing that this type of work can go unnoticed by officials for that long. Maybe a volunteer trail watch group would help. I could always use an excuse to go to the top!
