Live coverage from helicopter.
There is speculation of arson with some of the fires. With all the illegals from all the nations who came over our border, and who we don’t know who they are, why wouldn’t it be possible but more than likely?
Even ‘Rats don’t need to be burnt out.
[Maybe Newsome and Pelosi excepted...]
The big problem has been homeless camps. Probably some illegals mixed in, but lots of “native” homeless living in the highly combustible canyons. It’s been known about and warned about for over a decade.
Bump!!!!
I wonder how much downwash from helicopters is actually fanning the flames?
Illegal immigration brings its woes including homelessness I suppose…And that area is rampant with homeless encampments.
Yes that.
It’s always arson. Usually by the homeless. Whenever the Santa Anas are blowing it becomes a wildfire.
Looks like Light flashy fuels
Winds rather light —to borderline moderate at best
Air attack hitting it . Structure defense in place
Looks more spectacular at night in grassy flashy fuels
Should not amount to much
Not much if any.
Time to bring in the Feds. The State and City have failed.
One suspect was arrested for this fire. Hollywood Hills.
The others are “under investigation” per the press conference.
I believe this is a drone.
From what I read around here I expect the illegals were the ones living in the multi million dollar, ocean view mansions, not living in a homeless encampment

Another Fire has now erupted in the Studio City Neighborhood of Los Angeles, over 5 Miles from the Sunset Fire in Hollywood; with several Mansions worth Millions already engulfed in Flames, while at least one has collapsed sending Flaming Embers flying towards nearby Properties.
How about arson terrorism?
Not always the homeless ... this is an interesting (but terrible) case. The podcast “Firebug” was where I heard about this guy.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Leonard_Orr
John Leonard Orr (born April 26, 1949) [1] is an American convicted serial arsonist, mass murderer and former firefighter. A fire captain and arson investigator in Glendale, California, Orr was convicted of serial arson and four counts of murder;[2] he is believed to have set nearly 2,000 fires in a thirty-year arson spree, most of them between 1984 and 1991, making him the most prolific serial arsonist in American history.[3
Some fire investigators and an FBI criminal profiler have deemed Orr to be possibly one of the worst American serial arsonists of the 20th century.[35] Federal ATF agent Mike Matassa believes that Orr set nearly 2,000 fires between 1984 and 1991.[24] Furthermore, arson investigators determined that after Orr was arrested, the number of brush fires in the nearby foothill areas decreased by more than 90 percent.[11]
I was wondering the same.
Terrorism is very possible here.
