Luckily nothing worse happened. This topic in such rallies and in such forrest must be more carefully adressed.
Relax, everything was well controlled by the organizers, firefighters were quickly on scene and according to some friends also on the scene there is a road immediately below and the fire danger could easily by contained. Also as soon as the organizers knew what happened they stopped the stage. Dont be so quick to judge.
