But we’ve yet to see a legal and licensed recreational cannabis company start a significant California wildfire, particularly a legal cannabis company flush with $150 million in venture capital.
An 80-acre Mendocino County blaze called the Broiler Fire started last Wednesday, and on Friday, a recreational cannabis company called Flow Cannabis admitted one of their workers started the blaze.
The cannabis company is getting points for honesty, with Redwood Valley-Calpella Fire Department Chief Don Dale telling Emerald Triangle news blog Redheaded Blackbelt that Flow Cannabis was “upfront about the whole thing.” That goodwill may not last.
