Arson is sadly more common than people realize but even without intent, humans are terrible at not lighting shit on fire. Caldor - dipshits firing incendiary rounds (they basically got off in court.) The gender reveal fire. PG&E not powering down lines -> Camp Fire. Town leveled, 80+ dead. Cigs?
But I seriously worry about deliberate ideological arson. Not pathological arsonists but MAGA-driven ecoterrorism, for so many reasons. Here's one: when assorted Shasta fires were going, local anti-gov militias were offering community support while running recruiting drives. That terrifies me.
Completely agree. It’s terrifying! You really know your stuff 😉
Ha, thank you. I've had to evacuate for a week before. It feels really real after something like that. I've got to plug the completely free and incredibly informative service WatchDuty. It's a resource created by people who fight fires and it shows. Mostly West Coast atm. www.watchduty.org
