ASHLAND, Ore. — The Almeda Fire started on the North side of Ashland.

Police say it’s believed to have sparked at the BMX park by Almeda Street and Michelle Avenue.

We’re told investigators spent the day speaking with witnesses and neighbors trying to verify where the fire started and how.

Whether it was intentionally set or not is still to be determined, but police say it is a criminal investigation.

One person was discovered dead in the area where the fire sparked.

Hmmmm. Dirtbag caught in the act near, Dexter, but escaped. Fire put out.

Do you have a source for that? I’d love to see the details.

This was a fire about a week ago, but yes. And also this:

Looks like two more fires started today, just north of the original ones. And one was right by the Expo Center, where the people were evacuated to. Hmmm... yeah, something doesn’t smell right...

In addition to a guy arrested for lighting a fire and then calling it in

A grab off FaceBook. Dexter PD or FD may have more.

[An Appeal to Heaven]

Wow. Unreal. Gee, wouldn’t it be amazing if we had curious journalists?

[gundog]

Better, maybe. Local people will be on this. You can kill people in Oregon, but you’d best not ^#*+ with the trees.

I’m in Oregon and have seen a dozen or so of these stories from CA to WA. NEVER seen so many arsonists at work at the same time.

6 Antifa arrested

Oregon is on fire! Pallet Company in Oregon City confirmed Antifa arsonist on camera. Douglas County Sheriff has 6 ANTIFA arsonists in custody. Many fires in Oregon. Obviously there are more to track down and arrest. Governor Kate Brown built this.— Paul J. Romero, Jr. for US Senate, OR (@PJR4Senate) September 9, 2020

[goodnesswins]

???? Can’t find any evidence of that anywhere...need source .

[TruthWillWin]

All I’m seeing in the news is “criminal investigation” is ongoing. Nothing realesed on Douglas County sheriff news site so far?

[TruthWillWin]

Arsonists still active in Oregon. Many arrested. Waiting for official LEO statements. https://t.co/CVFdh71nXD pic.twitter.com/TrOxzR9UUp— Paul J. Romero, Jr. for US Senate, OR (@PJR4Senate) September 10, 2020

6 Antifa arrested is what your post reported....not found anywhere

[An Appeal to Heaven]

I heard rumors about 6 Antifa also but don’t see any confirming news yet.
