Location:   Los Angeles County - Angeles National Forest
Notes:   On this date in 1997 in the San Gabriel Mountains behind Glendora a hiker having just used a primitive latrine believed the most sanitary and environmentally-friendly course of action was to burn their wipes.

Some local wags christened the incident the "Charmin Fire".
