Louisiana here: my daughter told me that she watched a fire start. it was right by the train tracks. Are trains causing some of these fires?
Did she say how it started? What exactly did she see?
Well, she was holding a zippo and some old newspaper and it was bright orangish red... /s but really, she see anything?
She says that literally all she saw was fire between hwy 165 and railroad tracks.
Trains do start quite a few fires. Sparks from the tracks/wheels.
St. Mary Parish had grass fires earlier that they put out, also near tracks 🤔 we also had a train derailment this past week caused by an out of state big rig that went off his route and got stuck on the tracks..
