Am I just dense? When I was a Boy Scout we built a fire when we went camping and we called that a campfire. We didn’t ever call a forest fire the Camp Fire. There is no town named Camp. There is no mountain range named Camp. Why are they calling this the Camp Fire?
Because the fire stated at Camp Creek Road and Pulga along the Feather River...that is why it is called the Camp Fire.
Evidently, the fire started on Camp Creek Road. Hence the name.
