@dauphin87 why is it called the coffee pot fire?
@singlemaltgirl I've been asking and no one seems to know.π€·πΌββοΈ

@singlemaltgirl Most often the name is determined by the initial attack incident commander or the fire dispatcher. The name is generally based on the geographic location of the fire or a nearby geographic feature, i.e. mountain, canyon, valley, river, etc.
@singlemaltgirl I have the answer! It started in/near Coffee Pot Canyon.
@dauphin87 what a folksy name for the canyon.
also, i hope they're able to get it under control. π€πΎ
@dauphin87 yeah, we name our fires here by the region/area it's happening in. i just thought coffee pot might mean something like someone left a coffee pot burning which sparked the fire in the first place. π€
