The HOA deliberately burned nearly 10 acres of my private woods for wildfire mitigation—even though I never signed their treatment agreement. They blamed safety and claimed the crew followed procedure, until the field records revealed the exact moment their president told contractors to keep burning past the boundary where they should have stopped.
