As if the world isn’t insane enough, we have an arsonist who is targeting our area in Socal. For the third time in a year, yesterday we had 10-20 small fires around us, all along the I-15 and SR-76 highways. Someone is driving through the area and tossing out incendiary devices. My Watch Duty app alarmed constantly for several hours, and we had large CalFire helos zooming 100 feet over our house as they made the trip from reservoir to fire drop locations and back. We could see the fires and the water drops from our back deck. It was intense.
Our area is *very* susceptible to wildfires, so an arsonist is a particularly dangerous thing. Whoever this person is, I hope they are caught soon. Hard to believe that there’s no camera evidence of the activity. Local media isn’t calling it arson yet, but it’s obvious. I’m generally not a fan of lynching, but in this case I’ll make an exception – this person needs to be stopped, by any means available.
Citizen reports on the usual social media sites are focusing on a white pickup truck seen with someone tossing shit out the window in the areas with fires.
Title photo is of a napalm drop I witnessed at the Miramar Air Show in 2008. Also intense.
