I’ve been in this area for over 20 years, and I’ve never seen first taking off like this. Very scary. I sure hope they catch these people.
I don’t bet, but I’d guess it could very well be members of the ELF environmental group. They have set fires here before.
The person who took video of the fire said that he saw someone riding away on a golf cart..so that explains how he was able to get out of the area so quickly..Also just saw a breaking news alert from ABC 7 that one person was found dead near the fire..not sure if this is a person who didnt evacuate quickly enough or could be the perp, still waiting to find out more details
Just got some more info, the person killed was someone at a transient encampment near the fire scene
Just read on twitter
Calvary Assembly Church in Escondido on fire right now.
If this is arson..WOW, setting fire to a church..POS will burn for that
