I saw several planes up that day .. live on local TV. We had units from all over CA who came to help out.
I’m fairly certain this plane is not part of the San Diego group - but I know there were a lot of planes up that day. They would barely get one fire put down and another one would pop up. Logistically, it didn’t appear to be like any other natural fires we’ve had here since 2003.
Late last night it was reported that an accelerant had been found at all but one of the fires.

There's a video of the start of the Carlsbad fire taken by a landscaper. He said he saw the fire start, then a golf call pull away. The golf cart stopped about 100 yards away to watch, then sped off. The fire spreads very quickly.
