Sources: All but one fire burning in San Diego County have a suspicious ignition point
ABC News 10 San Diego ^ | May 15, 2014 | Team 10

Posted on 05/15/2014 1:16:13 PM PDT by Half Vast Conspiracy

WARNING: Take this with a grain of salt. This is the channel that ran a story for a couple hours this morning with a guy saying he couldn't evacuate because his van had a bad "muffler bearing".

Team 10 sources say all but one of the fires that have been burning across San Diego County have a suspicious ignition point.

'Fire bugs' is the term being used inside the fire agencies. Sources say the fires started in a way that were not normal -- there were no sparks from a lawnmower or car engine, no thrown cigarettes and no cars involved.

One source, a long-time arson investigator who is now retired, told us that CAL FIRE has a crack investigative team that will be looking closely at physical evidence and talking to witnesses to try to determine exactly how these fires started. The San Diego Fire Department also has an investigative team that will be looking into this.

Locals will be asked if they saw anything suspicious or noticed strange activity in their area. The Carlsbad Police Department has already established a Tip Hotline for the Poinsettia Fire. Anyone with information can call (760) 602-7599 or send investigators an email.

Fire crews have been battling nine fires across the county. No one has been injured but homes have been lost. Gov. Jerry Brown declared a state of emergency on Wednesday, clearing the way for more resources to help local firefighters.

The guy claiming his house was in the middle of the fire, said that he had 5 dogs and couldn't evacuate because of a bad ”muffler bearing”

It's telling that no one at the station new this was a hoax. What is sad is that folks may have gone out to try and rescue the guy and his dogs.

Channel 10’s reporting aside, the number and location of fires is very suspicious.

San Marcos fire is spreading east VERY quickly.

Yeah, they’re attached to the stator and the turbine, below the seat buckle and in front of the whisk.

From what I heard yesterday, all of the fires started pretty much at the same time, which raises suspicion right there..whenever it gets very hot here, the crazies come out to start fires and watch it burn..it gets them off

Wildfires help make the case for global warming. Wrecked oil trains and pipeline leaks in big media markets aid the cause of the anti carbon zealots. The Fast and Furious gun plot would have increased support for gun control. Hmmmmm....Nah couldn’t be.

It has been told to me that many wildfires are started by Sodomites or other perverts who get their jollies off watching the fire and the commotion it causes.

Sounds like my kind of guy. Messing with the newsfolk is always fun. Did he mention anything of his left-handed-smoke-shifter, or his widget arm on his maniform?

an FBI memo alerted law enforcement agencies that an al-Qaida terrorist being held in detention had talked of masterminding a plot to set a series of devastating forest fires around the western United States,” the National Terror Alert Response Center warned.

The arson strategy is recommended in al qaeda handbooks, so this is not surprising ... the arsonists and/or their motives in the recent spate of forest fires in America

Good find. Maybe he was out of “blinker fluid,” too.

Muzzie terrorists?They could do a lot of damage with delayed incendiary devices and the risk of being caught would be low.

That was my first thought, certainly it’s been talked about in the past few years.

Sounds like my kind of guy.

Normally I'd say that, but I have to wonder how many people tried to get to his location to rescue him and his dogs.

Just contacted some friends in San Marcos.

Their home has been under a "get ready to evacuate" order since yesterday.

Fires died down a little overnight but have broken out against this morning.

They are loaded and ready to leave.

Prayers for all in the path of the fires and for those fighting them.

Clearly arson; likely asymmetrical jihad. A tactic attempted by Japanese in WW II. Eric Holder, check your domestic terrorist detectors--they're set on "political opponents" not "enemies of the Constitution".
