Malibu Fires

The fire went "underground". What that means is a tree stump sat and smouldered.
As an ember with more wind on a different day, week, month, it can re-ignite with the
right conditions to fire-up again.

When I lived in Arizona, there was a big fire that sprung up near Flagstaff. The origin of
the fire was tracked down to a pile of buried wood covered in dirt 9-10 months earlier.
