People were releasing horses and other pets from neighboring properties where the owners weren't home. At least they'd get a chance to run, versus burning alive in a barn.

There is not a single story about a mentally ill person shooting folks that does not include ‘Were is the gun reform.” on the other hand there has never been a fire story that begins with call to reform of the Forest Service or the BLM. Nobody every calls the Sierra Club the cause of the death or injury to fire fighters - why is that? They call the NRA the problem with guns. Greens should be called out for the destruction of land that could be managed with better policies.
