ATHENS, Greece (AP) – Greek fire department officials arrested two men on Saturday for allegedly deliberately starting wildfires as hundreds of firefighters battle blazes that have been blamed for 21 deaths.

One man was arrested on Evia for allegedly deliberately setting fire to dried grass in the island’s Karystos area. The fire department said the man confessed to having set four other fires in the area in July and August.

“...arrested two men on Saturday for allegedly deliberately starting wildfires...”

If someone deliberately starts a fire, it is NOT a “wildfire”....

Agree. Arson with an Agenda.

Yeah. Last Tuesday there were 3054 lightning strikes in a 24 hour period. Most fire starts in northern CA and Canada are in remote locations. Bad guys, generally speaking, do not hike several miles through difficult terrain in extreme temperatures to commit a crime. Most arson is roadside or otherwise easy access/egress locations.

Arson is one of the easiest crimes to commit, but one of the hardest to prove and collect evidence.

A wildfire has nothing to do with how it started. It has to do with how it burns.

Wildfires are “wildly popular” among the Climate Crisis jet set these days.

I always considered a “wildfire” being a fire started by nature...Just my opinion...

The Canadians have caught some arsonists but they’re keeping it quiet.

I've hiked deeper into the woods to get to my Turkey spot. To someone with ill intent, the sky is the limit.

Indeed.3 years later they’re still investigating the Alameda fire when I lost everything.
One guy in jail. The rest were from out of town and paid these bums to set out gas cans in a windstorm and 103 degree weather.
