Default Brush fire in Palm Bay?s ?Compound? was accidental, caused by rocketry enthusiasts

This article is not so good for us with obvious (to us) inaccuracies:

"These students have attended our launches and did request assistance from us on their project, but we declined. They took it upon themselves to conduct this on their own."

What a remarkable group. Reminds me of something I wrote over on the other forum. This group is a perfect use-case for what I wrote January 2023 in the infamous "$100 J motor thread" :
Quote:
Once the old generation retires and aren't available to provide services that may or may not have been taken for granted, the younger generations will take action. Ever notice how young people who fly rockets at your launches aren't particularly interested in your club? They want the access to flying fields and technology we have. That's OK. They are also so capable that they really don't need old farts for "access." We just make it convenient, for now. They're even figuring out that you don't need TRA to manufacture motors. Flying 1/2A mini-engines in competition will become like "quaint" stick-and-tissue free flight aircraft. Maybe what's going to die off along with the old generation is our notion of clubs and associations. Hobby rocketry will likely take a form that may be radically different than the way things are arranged right now. This is the prerogative of the younger generation.
