Or do you think it is a natural disaster?
I know there is a story somewhere posing the same question, but I am curious what you think.
I know the fire is a horrible thing, but I think it is natural. If an arson really wanted to do some damage, they have done it. But what perfect timing? I mean think about it. If it was arson, did the person wait for the perfect time when the land is dry and the winds are just right?
What do you think?

Being a wildland firefighter and having studied arson investigation, yes I do believe it is the work of an arsonist. Three fires starting in such a short span of time in three different places.......nature usually doesn't work that way. And it is very possible that living in Cali, the arsonist knows the terrain, the weather conditions, etc. I have worked fires that were started by nature, dry lightening storms, and I have seen fires that were started by arsonist.

Wow, thanks for the insight. That is just horrible though to think that someone could do that.

Your welcome, and yes it is terrible to think that anyone could do this, they may have the knowledge to commit the crime but they don't have the common sense to know how far it will go and how many will be impacted by their act of stupidity.
