If they catch the people doing this , they should drop them off in the peak area of the fire! |
Not quiet... you are forgetting how powerful these winds are right now. 50-60 mph gusts are basically hurricane strength... and carry embers for huge distances nearly instantly.
It's actually like 2-3 fires in San Diego that either branched off or had embers carried good distance that sparked new ones.
You'd think we would have learned after Firestorm 03 about Wildfire preparedness... you need massive amounts of people for this kind of crap.
The smoke is killing me right now... especially because I'm sick too.
Week of Flame part DUEX! |

The OC Fire is arson.
------ source = http://ocregister.com -------
"Fire officials found three separate "points of origin," all near the intersection of Silverado Canyon Road and Santiago Canyon Road. Two were on one side of the road, and the third was on the other. "Whoever did this knew what they were doing,” said Kris Concepcion, a fire authority battallion chief. Also, the fire traveled 3 miles in its first 20 minutes when it was ignited about 6 p.m. Sunday, he said. The fire is moving north, and the only mandatory evacuation includes six homes near the intersection of Santiago Canton Road and Hangman Tree Road. -7:21 p.m." |

Don't doubt that, but they had to start to begin with.. The 3 in Irvine area have already been said they are Arson.
In the other areas, prolly some dumbass throwing their cigarette out the window. |

It's possible... I only say that because if someone lit up 8 arson fires that quickly... it'd be one big friggin group doing it together.
We started with two on Sunday in San Diego... and have wound up with 8 total so far...
though I think that # is a gross overstatement of maybe 4 fires doing what I said first. As for the cause... Power Transformers are the root of two so far I've heard here. |

| My girlfriend works at the Wet Seal/Arden B corporate office in Foothill Ranch. It's the huge white building on the hill that's at Portola and Bake. They continue to have her come into work everyday to simply be sent home at about noon. Today may be different though. |
