So.... what are the odds that terrorists (illegal immigrants/refugees from any Islamic Nation,etc) started this fire ?

Because it is too hot and dry and there is too much accumulated fuel?

I think you mean what started it. They haven’t said. It is usually days or weeks before they do. All of the recent fires have been vehicles, hot water heater. mowing, etc. The last several days has been 100 plus. The humidity is in mid single digits. That whole area has really been waiting for this.

Wouldn’t that likely take some time to determine ?

Funny you should say that. ON the Twitter posted on the site there are two Arabs communicating in Arabic. If you wanted to do a real terrorist act, I could think of more effective places than lake County, CA. A lot of dope growers through that area. An earlier fire near there this year had firefighters reporting 100s of marijuana grows.

Given that info, no one needed to even ‘set’ a fire.

Sometimes. If someone sees the lightning strike that ignites it, no.

And it only takes microseconds to rule out terrorism...

Maybe that is why the firemen haven't gotten it under control yet. Second hand smoke.

In Ann Coulter's book, Adios America, she documents the number of wild fires caused by Mexican drug growers and illegal immigrants. It appears from the documentation that >90% of the wildfires in the Western US are caused by Mexicans or illegal aliens.
