Sources: All but one fire burning in San Diego County have a suspicious ignition point
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.
A channel 9 reporter had mentioned the “suspicion” earlier in the evening .. around 5 pm.
And .. what amazed me was that I had been thinking that as I watched the coverage. Too many fires started all at once .. as soon as one was put out .. there were several more starting up. Somebody setting the fires was my first thought.
