California Fire Battalion Chief - Whoever Did This Knew What They Were Doing
October 22, 2007
Fire officials are now stating that the Orange County Santiago fire was purposely set and there is speculation that other fires may have also been deliberate. See Interactive Map
Fire officials found three separate "points of origin," all near the intersection of Silverado Canyon Road and Santiago Canyon Road. Two were on one side of the road, and the third was on the other. "Whoever did this knew what they were doing," said Kris Concepcion, a fire authority battalion chief. Also, the fire traveled 3 miles in its first 20 minutes when it was ignited about 6 p.m. Sunday, he said.

We are NOT implying that the California fires are an act of terrorism however; the threat of pyro-terrorist attacks pose a significant risk to the U.S. and the fires in California and in Greece earlier this year should be a wake-up call.
In 2003 an FBI memo alerted law enforcement agencies that an al-Qaeda terrorist being held in detention had talked of masterminding a plot to set a series of devastating forest fires around the western United States.
It was reported that the detainee, who was not identified, said the plan involved three or four people setting wildfires using timed devices in Colorado, Montana, Utah and Wyoming that would detonate in forests and grasslands after the operatives had left the country.
"The detainee believed that significant damage to the U.S. economy would result and once it was realized that the fires were terrorist acts, U.S. citizens would put pressure on the U.S. government to change its policies," the memo said.
How Can So Many Fires Be By Natural Causes ?
A Local News Radio talk show host in San Diego asked, "how can so many fires, in so many places, in such a short period of time, all be caused by natural causes".

al-Qaeda Detainee Spoke of Fire Plot
The FBI alerted law enforcement agencies last month that an al-Qaeda terrorist now in detention had talked of masterminding a plot to set a series of devastating forest fires around the western United States.
Rose Davis, a spokeswoman for the National Interagency Fire Center in Boise, told The Associated Press that officials there took note of the warning but didn't see a need to act further on it.
The contents of the June 25 memo from the FBI's Denver office were reported Friday by The Arizona Republic. Davis declined to share a copy of the memo and an FBI spokeswoman in Denver didn't immediately return a telephone call.

Yes, the Santiago Canyon fire was started by arson. There were 3 different ignition points along Santiago Canyon road.
The Malibu fire was started by downed electrical wires.
One of the Santa Clarita fires was started by a welders sparks.
I suppose the arson fires could be terrorism, but we'll never know unless they catch the fire bugs.
I would'nt be surprised to hear the Earth Liberation Movement is involved in some of these fires. They are against building, especially in open/wilderness areas.
They have been responsible for torching large housing projects that were under construction.0 -
When you have 100 MPH winds the fires can be spread over very wide areas very quickly. These winds encompass a vast area & are very warm & dry as well. 0 -
Surprises me that some Cali tree hugger group has not filed a lawsuit against God for allowing such exhaust from a fire enter the hemisphere without a CARB approved spark arrester or catalytic converter.
Speaking my mind like I do at times.
It would not bother me in the least if the entire state was reduced to ashes.
Speaking my mind like I do at times #2.
Maybe they are getting what they deserve for allowing the sorry asz governor to banish what is known as "Mother and Fathers" to the rest of us from his girlyman state.0 -
