LA Fire Department responds to Henry Winkler's shock claim about cause of blazes

The LA Fire Department has responded after Henry Winkler made a shock claim about the cause of the California blazes.

Amid the destruction sparked by the Pacific Palisades fire, the Happy Days icon, 79, took to X with an an incendiary message blaming foul play.

He wrote: 'THERE IS an ARSONIST here in LA . May you be beaten you unrecognizable !!! The pain you have caused !!!'

His claims swiftly went viral with some fans pledging their support to him and others lambasting him for spreading panic.

An LA Fire Department official has responded to the claim via TMZ, saying 'there's no way to know at this moment exactly where and how the series of fires started, but an investigation is underway.'

The LA Fire team investigating each fire is the arson squad, but that is matter of course for every major fire, and does not confirm arson, the official said.

Winkler has a home in Brentwood, LA.

Fans quickly commented on Winkler's post with one writing: 'I’ve been watching all day and night. How is it possible for the fires to keep jumping for miles and miles. How did the Hollywood Hills fire start? I’m starting to wonder if it is arsonists or terrorists or both.

Others wrote: 'You are right in a way.' and 'My opinion of you just sank. What good does physically harming them do? it would be upsetting to do and upsetting to watch. But locking them up would do some good.

'Embers blown on wind can travel 2 miles or more and set fires off. While it is possible, it is doubtful that they are all caused by arson - especially when no rain since March 2024 and 100mph winds are added in.

“ Mentally ill bums tend to start fires... It’s a trendy thing.”

Or gangs pay bums to start fires so gangs can loot after residents are forced to evacuate.

Fires are part of a looting scheme:

This is how lucky we got. And the fires on our side of LA were all started by looters. There were 13 people looting houses on our street as soon as the fire started. They were using a propane torch.

Anyone else reminded of Lahaina...

BTW, take a look at recent drone footage from there.

Note to Californians: It’s a preview of coming Deep State attractions.

From 2021. People on the coastal side of the PCH look to be screwed...

Daily Journal: The California Coastal Commission attempts to claim authority over local building permits

Lots more at Pacific Legal. For recent developments use the search function and type in Coastal Commission. There have been some recent rulings the last few months that might offer a glimmer of hope.

“I’m waiting for Pinky and Leather Tuscadero to weigh in on the subject.”

I want to know where the Malachi brothers were.

Whoa... has Fonzie jumped the shark? (again)

And for those who do not know,

The idiom "jumping the shark" or to "jump the shark" means that a creative work or entity has evolved and reached a point in which it has exhausted its core intent and is introducing new ideas that are discordant with or an extreme exaggeration (caricature) of its original theme or purpose. The phrase was coined in 1985 by radio personality Jon Hein in response to a 1977 episode from the fifth season of the American sitcom Happy Days, in which the character of Fonzie (Henry Winkler) jumps over a live shark while on water-skis. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jumping_the_shark

...high probability that a terrorist(s) started these fires.

Chaparral is a shrubland plant community found primarily in California, in southern Oregon and in the northern portion of the Baja California Peninsula in Mexico. It is shaped by a Mediterranean climate (mild wet winters and hot dry summers) and infrequent, high-intensity crown fires.

Democrats would blame something like "climate change" or terrorism but this was completely foreseen, forewarned, and required a program of regularly cutting brush. This was a Democrat government failure.

Yes there are terrorist arsonists.

However the real arsonists are the governor the mayor the firechief and minions the water departments and environmental organizations and the senators .

They need to be arrested. Tried.
Convicted

I had a childhood friend who got into meth & for whatever reason, turned into a firebug & starting commercial garbage bins on fire. Every time there’s an outbreak of garbage bin fires, I call the arson hotline with his info. There was one a couple years ago that was started next to a mobile home but luckily the family got out & no one was hurt. I couldn’t live with myself if someone did get hurt.

Yeah, when you become that decrepit of a person, you just want to watch the world burn yourself.
