This week's death toll from fires in Oregon, Washington and California now stands at 18, as at least 100 major fires burn in 11 western states. As flames push closer to the city of Portland, the mayor has declared a state of emergency — and state officials say they're now preparing for a "mass fatality incident."

More than half a million people — 12% of the state's population — have fled from their homes in Oregon and mass evacuations are underway across the region. Oregon's governor said Thursday that dozens may be missing in her state.

The monstrous fires are moving so quickly that they're overwhelming fire crews.

“This woman on twitter is documenting arson arrests, witnesses and arson reports in WA and OR.”

The Portland FBI and state officials are calling all the arson arrests a rumor started by Q anons. It does not matter that arrest reports are all over the TV News. You are to believe that 50 fires can start in different locations in one day because of Global Warming. Anyone who believes there is no arson involved should just go to sleep.

They’ve been setting a lot of fires, though the media hardly mentions it.

Are most of these fires in non-left parts of the state? IOW, are they Trump country?

Yes. The Antifa/BLM arson angle is probably overstated. Law enforcement may be trying to keep a lid on reprisals. Certainly there are arsons-caused fires, but motivation is not always known.

My wife does customer service for an electric company out of California and said they had over 1,000 calls on hold.

Of course not.

They are out to protect their little useful idiots.

If and when people realize that they are being targeted like this, the pushback will be staggering.

It was Lot’s wife the last time.

She had a loud mouth, like those antifa hussies with the megaphones.

They’re the ones that started the fires! Antifa/BLM caught starting fires and Trump voter territory is being decimated!
Of course demon-rat officials do nothing.
There will be no vote by mail for Trump supporters!
They have no f(clking mailboxes left!
Their homes are gone!

Many who are going to be reported dead are Trump supporters.
Now go figure.
