Fire officials are now stating that the Orange County Santiago fire was purposely set and there is speculation that other fires may have also been deliberate. See Interactive Map
Fire officials found three separate “points of origin,” all near the intersection of Silverado Canyon Road and Santiago Canyon Road. Two were on one side of the road, and the third was on the other. “Whoever did this knew what they were doing,” said Kris Concepcion, a fire authority battalion chief. Also, the fire traveled 3 miles in its first 20 minutes when it was ignited about 6 p.m. Sunday, he said.
We are NOT implying that the California fires are an act of terrorism however; the threat of pyro-terrorist attacks pose a significant risk to the U.S. and the fires in California and in Greece earlier this year should be a wake-up call.
In 2003 an FBI memo alerted law enforcement agencies that an al-Qaeda terrorist being held in detention had talked of masterminding a plot to set a series of devastating forest fires around the western United States.
It was reported that the detainee, who was not identified, said the plan involved three or four people setting wildfires using timed devices in Colorado, Montana, Utah and Wyoming that would detonate in forests and grasslands after the operatives had left the country.
“The detainee believed that significant damage to the U.S. economy would result and once it was realized that the fires were terrorist acts, U.S. citizens would put pressure on the U.S. government to change its policies,” the memo said.
How Can So Many Fires Be By Natural Causes ?
A Local News Radio talk show host in San Diego asked, “how can so many fires, in so many places, in such a short period of time, all be caused by natural causes”.

As we have stated before. If you see anything suspicious, report it to law enforcement immediately.
UPDATE: Video - Officials say arson now suspected in Orange County Fire
UPDATE: From Los Angeles Fox News
“I’m sad to report this is an arson fire,” OCFA Chief Chip Prather announced at an early morning briefing. “There were three separate starts: two on one side of the road and one on the other, and obviously we are actively investigating that.”
Links - A number of blogs and websites have sprung up to report on the fires. We will provide links to a couple we’ve found.

Great book on the subject
I don’t know where you live. Are you safe?
I'm safe from any of the fires that are currently burning. We had a brush fire near our house a few weeks ago. It wasn't windy and it was out by morning. As a result of that fire, a lot of the brush that would fuel a fire in our neighborhood is already burned out.
It’s odd sometimes how God builds a firebreak for us that seems at the time to be a bad thing.

(BTW, I'm really enjoying your book right now!
I just don’t get why someone would do this to other people.
Well said.
Well, duh???!!!! Of course they would be!
It does not surprise me a bit. In a country as wacko and stupid as this can be sometimes - where illegals come in demanding rights - and the criminals become 'media starts' as a result of crimes. WHY NOT?
If it were up to me, I would hang the guilty 'Iraqi Style.' :)
“The MSM will drop this story stat within the next two weeks - Just like the VA University shooting - Once it didn’t fit the template (of attacking the GOP / or advancing a DEM cause) it was dropped!”
You obviously don’t read the Virginia MSM. The story’s hardly been dropped, amd in fact it still shows up in places like the Wapost and NYT.
I predict we’ll find out these fires were set by a liberal Islamic illegal alien eco-terrorist who is a volunteer firefighter and building contractor and was about to default on a sub-prime mortgage. You’ll see.
The guy suspected of being about to start a fire in San Bernardino who rammed police and was shot and killed by them has been named as Russell Davis of Topoc, Arizona.
I was sorely tempted to post a fake article this morning that the guy was IDed as "Mohammed Sanchez" and was found wearing an Earth Liberation Front T-Shirt, with an expired green card and a membership card for the Phoenix Gay, Lesbian, and Bisexual Organization in his wallet, but I resisted the temptation. I think the joyful responses would have crashed FR anyway.
“I think the joyful responses would have crashed FR anyway.”
No doubt.
I can’t say what I’m thinking, but I bet others are thinking it, too.
Oh, but lets keep those borders open!
/s
Methinks ecoterrorists.
Islam is a religion. Not an ethnicity. And there is nothing to stop them from hiring stooges, obviously.
