Sources: All but one fire burning in San Diego County have a suspicious ignition point
ABC News 10 San Diego ^ | May 15, 2014 | Team 10

Posted on 05/15/2014 1:16:13 PM PDT by Half Vast Conspiracy

WARNING: Take this with a grain of salt. This is the channel that ran a story for a couple hours this morning with a guy saying he couldn't evacuate because his van had a bad "muffler bearing".

Team 10 sources say all but one of the fires that have been burning across San Diego County have a suspicious ignition point.

'Fire bugs' is the term being used inside the fire agencies. Sources say the fires started in a way that were not normal -- there were no sparks from a lawnmower or car engine, no thrown cigarettes and no cars involved.

One source, a long-time arson investigator who is now retired, told us that CAL FIRE has a crack investigative team that will be looking closely at physical evidence and talking to witnesses to try to determine exactly how these fires started. The San Diego Fire Department also has an investigative team that will be looking into this.

Locals will be asked if they saw anything suspicious or noticed strange activity in their area. The Carlsbad Police Department has already established a Tip Hotline for the Poinsettia Fire. Anyone with information can call (760) 602-7599 or send investigators an email.

Fire crews have been battling nine fires across the county. No one has been injured but homes have been lost. Gov. Jerry Brown declared a state of emergency on Wednesday, clearing the way for more resources to help local firefighters.

It has been told to me that many wildfires are started by Sodomites or other perverts who get their jollies off watching the fire and the commotion it causes.


Yup. The Sodomiters done did it. And the Sodomiters turn over trains carrying oil. The temp where I live was much below average today. I bet the Sodomiters are responsible for it.

Could this have anything to do with the release of all those illegal criminals?

I’m recalling the news from a while back that Al Qeada was urging arson as a terrorist weapon.

You bet they do, and they should be frequently lubed with elbow grease.

Yeah it’s a beautiful place. I plan to move there some time, soon. Do you live there as well or is that just a condo you own?

Absolutely. They became necessary shortly after the development of the turbo encabulator.

"...a guy saying he couldn't evacuate because his van had a bad 'muffler bearing.'"

Apparently, he didn't want to pay the emergency/rescue racket. Maybe he prepared well enough in advance. One way to do that is to exterminate and trim der twees far enough from the house (yes, der twees worshipped by many in the West). Another is to make buildings very fire resistant. And there are more. Arson done by friends of political/regulation folks is probably more likely in the West than damage from forest fires. The man was right to help the non-technical parasites of the economy to ridicule themselves.

Also in Escondido, the Calvary Assembly Church was gutted by fire but officials said the blaze does- not -appear- to be -connected to the Cocos fire. The cause of the church fire is under investigation, and authorities said no arrests have been made in the matter.

For sure there are arsonists/fire bugs out there, however this fire science stuff can just as easily railroad a innocent person

Just speaking in general, witnesses etc is a different story

The science of Fire origins is not necessarily much different than Global warming science, really!

I think any convicted arsonist should have his/her house (safely) burned to the ground before they’re carted off to jail for life. If they don’t own a house, pile all of their belongings in a safe place and burn them. Let them get an idea what it’s like to lose everything they own. Of course, being arsonists, they’d probably enjoy it.
