#PalisadesFire FD is Requesting Law Enforcement to Viewridge/Topanga Canyon, Possible Arson subject on a Trail.
Hope this guy is charged if he was, in fact, trying to start a fire. That's a terrible spot he targeted.
It would be ugly and, I hear the winds are going to be coming back up.
Fox reported yesterday, male California residents saw & captured an assumed homeless/ illegal male trying to start a fire with his blowtorch?
They used zip-ties & a rope before calling the police.
The police responded taking him away.
Five witnesses came forward independently. However, Fox later reported he was released because there wasn’t enough evidence to hold him???
Oh they’re in the wrong state to be asking for that.
I am in Palm Desert and the winds started picking up again about 30 minutes ago!!!
BTW, this suspected arsonist was traveling on a bicycle with a blow torch that the witnesses observed him trying to start a fire.
The video of his capture showed the neighbors handled the situation very, very well before police arrival.
Heavy winds tomorrow and back to the 80+ MPH winds Tuesday is the latest I’ve heard.
Another verification of the suspected arsonist. Anyone on the scanner?

Not sure if this is the event or another one:
KTLA
@KTLA
Police in Azusa announced that a man was arrested on Friday night after he allegedly started a brush fire in a park not far from where the Eaton Fire is still burning.
https://x.com/KTLA/status/1878218474964566512
He was held on a ‘felony probation violation’ but they said - in a press conference ‘ there was no ‘probable cause’ to charge him with the new crime.
He had a propane blow torch and people saw him trying to start a fire.
That’s not a crime???
Here’s the likely story: He was an illegal alien and they don’t want the narrative out that “Trump was right” - these folks are here doing harm and causing wildfires killing Americans.
So they let the guy walk on any new charges.
Also goes by "Climate Change"
From the story above:
The man, a transient named Jose Carranza-Escobar, was seen “standing next to the flames” and was promptly detained as the L.A. County Fire Department, already thinly stretched due to the large wildfires in Southern California, responded and extinguished the blaze.
Another “homeless” guy?
The central American gangs are sending in these guys to start fires so they can then go loot after the neighborhoods are evacuated.
“Climate Change” a/k/a “No Probable Cause.”
Well you, we must embrace diversity……..
You're probably right.

Time to deal with them the old fashioned way.
Yeah the one arrested is an illegal
Yeah transient my butt when did Biden let him cross the border
Dang! Knew it was coming. We have a high pressure system setting up in northern NV/CA right now which will pump up the winds down south into the LA area. Gets gusty enough and the air support will be grounded.
Does anyone have an explanation for why the police let this guy go?
What could he possibly have done with a blow torch during a time of fire crisis?
