ANOTHER fire has broken out in California as the summer of wildfires continues to rage across the state. Authorities are calling the San Pasqual fire in Escondido arson - here is the latest.

Also being called the Cloverdale fire, the latest blaze broke out near San Pasqual Road on Monday.

Investigators with the local arson team are saying the fire was deliberately set, as the blaze sprung to 100 acres in minutes.

By last night, fire crews had managed to prevent the fire from getting too out of control as investigators continued to search for the perpetrator.

Elsewhere across the state, infernos continue to rage, with the massive Mendocino Complex fire claiming another life.

California fire death toll: Firefighter dead battling Mendocino Com... Holy Fire latest update: Baby deer rescued - fire reaches 22,986 acres In total, 101 large fires are actively burning across the United States.

The Mendocino Complex is by far the largest - as well as the largest in Californian history - spanning nearly 350,000 acres.

Close on its heels is the deadly Carr Fire, spanning about 200,000 acres, which has claimed eight lives.

The unprecedented spread of the fires have forced tens of thousands to be evacuated across California.

This must be more fake news.

Our governor says the fires are directly attributable to global warming.

Don’t worry, he’ll commission a multimillion $$ study to prove that “climate change” induces compulsions of arson into innocent citizens’ minds.

Global Whining caused the arsonists to light their matches.

Arson should be a capital crime, like kidnapping used to be.

The Indians in both Americas took care of thee forests. Thet burned them every year or so. At intervals like that the underbrush has not gotten thick yet and the underbrush is al that burns. The forests are cleared and big game loves it and hangs around in the forest. By refusing to burn the forest the underbrush grows to choke everything and to burn much much hotter when that lightning strikes and, unlike with annualburns, the trees are all burned up, too, and the tree huggers’ efforts to save the trees go up in smoke.

According to some on this web site, fires are a good thing and should be left to burn.

Arson? Maybe set by the the state itself in order to collect billions in federal disaster funds? RATs are evil....nothing would surprise me.

Is it one of Moonbeam Brown, Kamala Harris, Gavin Newsom, and Nancy Piglosi’s illegals? Or, one or more of the undocumented aliens that they want to hide from ICE??

Yes, that is all I have been hearing about these fires. That it is climate change to blame, and due to I used a plastic straw once, and watered my lawn....UGGGH.

Now I am getting confused.

The Indians burned to create habitat for wildlife. That brush is browse and they wanted that brush for wildlife since deer can not reach browse up in the air.

Old growth forests are deserts to wildlife. No browse, no shelter.

Governor Brown’s sister, Kathleen Brown, is a board member of Sempra Energy. She has been lobbying the legislature to shield California power utilities from lawsuits for their negligence.

Their new defense is that global warming is the root cause for most of the fires.

Not only are the trees burned up when a fire involves too much overburden, the soil is sterilized as well. The bacteria and fungi in soil is necessary to break downfallen plant matter and process it into nutrients. With that gone, there is an excessively lengthy recovery.

You can bet that if it turns out arson was committed by a homeless guy, an illegal, or a Muslim, it will be covered up big time.
