Name?

[edit]

Perhaps JoleBruh or some other expert can explain why it was called the Tiger fire, please. I wondered about the name of the recent FA, Sawmill Fire, and never found out. Andrew🐉(talk) 18:37, 15 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I don't really know either, but I think it has something to do with the Tiger Musky, which is a fish present in Horsethief Basin Lake near where the fire started. JoleBruh (talk) 23:17, 15 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
