Interesting. I live in N. California, but not close to Butte. For the last several weeks PG and E has been here flying those helicopters very low and clearing out brush that has been there for years. We were told it was because they caused the fire in Santa Rosa.
I have a question. Why do they go back into the open space and check those strange lights? And what are those strange lights? My research indicates that they are lidar boxes checking the fire conditions in the woods. Am I correct?
