A 30-year-old woman from Palo Alto was arrested Thursday on suspicion of starting a fast-growing wildfire in Shasta County, authorities said.
Late Wednesday afternoon, Cal Fire and other crews were dispatched to a new wildfire in a deep, hard-to-reach canyon near Lake Shasta, at Fawndale Road north of Mountain Gate, the agency said. The blaze was later dubbed the Fawn Fire.
Earlier that day, employees had reported seeing a woman trespassing in the area and acting strangely.
A few hours later at around 8 p.m., a woman — later identified as Palo Alto resident Alexandra Souverneva — emerged out of the brush near the fire line and told firefighters she needed medical help for dehydration. She was transported out of the area for evaluation and treatment.
During a subsequent interview with Cal Fire and law enforcement, officers came to believe Souverneva was responsible for setting the fire, Cal Fire said, though the details of the interview were not released. She was arrested and booked into Shasta County Jail.
The Fawn Fire grew rapidly through rugged terrain and dry fuels overnight Wednesday, engulfing about 5,500 acres with 5% containment as of Thursday evening. It has destroyed 25 structures and is threatening 2,000 others, according to Cal Fire.

Bad acne as a kid? Or Meth dots?

A few posts ago there was a picture of our Great Fearless Leader Biden. Compare the looks in his eyes with that of this woman. Somehow it looks like no one is home in either residency.
Ya wonder what was she thinking? I’ll never understand the stupid things young folks do today that are destructive and harmful.
“A California woman acting suspiciously.” (With crazy eyes.)
Well, who would have ever guessed that? That description narrows it down to about 10 million.
Crazy eyes.
The eyes say “bat-(bleep)” crazy. Seen them before.
