It’s wildfire season unfortunately so some fires are expected

Wildfires don't usually happen downtown...which is what this website seems to be tracking. At least from this 2023 article the number of fires related to the homeless camps is pretty consistent and only the % drops during the summer months.

I wouldn’t call them wildfires when they’re downtown either. Wildfire season just means it’s hot and dry so fires start easier everywhere
Yep, everything is dry, including the 5,200 park that sits less than a mile from downtown (Forest Park).
