Do you think it is possible that terrorists started the fire in California?

Question

Considering that California police suspect arson, could this have been a terrorist attack? Do you think we'll hear from some radical terrorist group claiming responsibility?

Has anyone heard if this is even being looked into?

Answer 1

I severely doubt it. We have a fire every year, like clockwork (which is what I said when I saw the smoke, ironically). Every year, it is because of a mentally disturbed person, a criminal, a pyromaniac, a kid who doesnt want to go to school, or it happened on accident.

The reason these fires are so bad is because of the Santa Ana winds. We have incredibly hot, incredibly dry conditions that make it perfect fuel for a large-scale fire.

The embers get carried away by the wind and create new fires in other places.

One of the fires in Stevenson Ranch was caused by a construction accident.

My guess is, the rest are pretty much the same.

Also, thrown in the fact that its hardly rained at all this year or last year. Its rained about 5-10 times this year. I've counted (sadly, as rain is my favorite kind of weather).

And I really dont see how any of this would benefit a radical terrorist group. It would only benefit an individual with little morals.

Answer 2

There are at least 13 fires over the past week -- several small ones contained, several larger ones still going.

Of those, 3 are suspected of being caused by arson -- and the FBI is investigating two of them as of a few hours ago.

Other than intentional arson against residential areas -- it doesn't fit the basic requirement of terrorism -- which is using terror to cause political harm and attack civilians.

But even if it is terrorism -- and any large-scale arson could count -- it's domestic -- not foreign.

Answer 3

numerous the fires have been started via severe winds blowing dried-out foilage into skill strains or flattening skill strains into overgrown factors of brush. 2 have been arson fires. One at Lake Arrowhead and the different in Santiago Canyon in Orange County. Wildfires are a huge-unfold occurence in the western U.S. and that has been so for hundreds of years. i myself fought the Telega Canyon hearth in the early Nineteen Sixties which unfold into 5 counties and virtually jumped the border into Mexico. the adaptation is that hearth exceeded off before we crammed 39 million people into California and had housing factors pass into the foothills and tree strains. those winds kick up approximately three times a 12 months. On my area of the Sierra Nevada selection that's ordinary because of the fact the "Siberian convey" because of the fact the jet flow shifts from an east to west course right into a north-south course west of the Rockies, bringing in chilly air from the Gulf of Alaska. while those winds go the Sierra Nevada they're dried out and grow to be santa ana winds. that's the top of my meteorology and geography lesson. you may now return and proceed along with your game of coincidence observed as "connect the dots".

Answer 4

Every single year there are fires in California, every single year. Last year, or was it the year before, one of the fires was started by an arsonist. Yes there might have been another arsonist again this year, that was an arsonist not a terrorist.

Answer 5

One location has been investigated for arson, and one person was shot. There is no mention of terrorist activity.

Answer 6

That's just the sort of thinking that gives terror groups ideas!


No. California is cursed with fires, flooding, earhtquakes, movies stars drinking and driving, and the list goes on and on.

Answer 7

I don't think it was, but it's not a bad question considering the state of the USA's affairs.

Just another reason we need to SECURE OUR BORDERS!!!

Answer 8

We have to be very careful about naming an arsonist beforehand.

We need the truth FIRST.

THEN we can talk about who dunnit.

Answer 9

CHECK THE ARCHIVES FOR CALIFORNIA IF IT IS NOT A FIRE IT IS AN EARTHQUAKE.

DID A TERRORIST SET IT. NO DRY WEATHER SET IT.

Answer 10

someone who used to live in calf. told me it burns every year . he thought it was so they could build it up bigger and better than the last. sounds like he was right.
