Last Wednesday the 17th, we awoke to see the upper part of Red Rock (the 265m tall mountain behind Mont Vernon) on fire. Although small flames were sometimes visible, it was mostly a line of smoke across the upper 1/3 of the mountain. Later in the day, the smoky fire had spread down the mountain, and appeared to threaten dwellings in French Cul-de-Sac. By the next day, it was over. Some people we talked to thought it was natural, others thought arson, and others thought it might be a controlled burn or might've been started by embers from the dump on the other side of the mountain. We checked the Daily Herald but couldn't find any information about it. Anyone else see this or know what happened ?
