Isn't this fire known to be caused by intentional arson? https://www.cnn.com/2021/08/11/us/former-college-instructor-charged-arson-dixie-fire/index.html https:

  No, this wacko was setting fires in a fire. The events involving the power line happened a month ago. Fire has been going on for a while.

    The existance of this particular wacko suggests the followup question: maybe the original fire was arson too?

      There is as much evidence that this fire was started by arson as there is it was started by a laser beam from Xenu, i.e. none. On the other hand, we have this solid first-hand information about a fire that started between a tree and a power line. Why the need to have alternate theories without supporting evidence? https://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/21011683/pge-dixie-fire-filing.pdf https://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/21011683/pge-dixie-fi...

        That's a bit of rationale that could be said of most things running rampant on the internet. However, this is the state we are in where you can argue fact until you are blue in the face, and the listener will not budge from their views.

        Except Xenu hasn't been arrested for starting fires. This guy has.

      Fires start for a variety of reasons in CA. - Manure pile fires - Garbage trucks unloading smoldering debris - Lightning strikes - Off-road motor vehicles and equipment - Gender reveals gone wrong - Improper camp fires - Failing electrical infrastructure - Arson I don’t know why of all the possible causes we’d jump to arson.

        Don’t forget - hot sunny day + discarded clear glass bottle starts fire - idiots shooting at rocks in the middle of nowhere and causing sparks (Yes, those have really happened)
