There’s at least a couple more things.
Regardless how how the fires originate, the first thing is to provide emergency information and support to residents who are at risk. Oregon has an established state infrastructure that is non-political to do this and after skimming their webpage it looks to me like they’re doing everything they can, and LJ said they were aware of the current and forecast conditions and prepared, so that is on the plus side:

On the minus side, there’s also the apprehension of any potential arsonists and the last Q post doesn’t create much confidence in the FBI, and we already know that state and local prosecutors can be on the wrong side. Time is of the essence here, there needs to be a full court press to investigate and seek out anyone who may be even marginally involved in arson BEFORE they act. We can apologize and settle their wrongful arrest suits later if necessary, but it seems like Trump could use DHS as he has in the past.
It would be bad enough if the feds were fully on board and engaged but just couldn’t catch the bastids. To deny potential leads and not do everything possible to investigate them is just as criminal as the fire starting is.

Specifically the Portland FBI, but why can’t the DoJ of which the FBI is a part, get rid of the bad guys up there? I am really getting frustrated about this. WHen is this s*** going to stop?
