Arson, arson, and more arson

As I mentioned yesterday, the Santiago Fire in Orange County looks like an arson.

Today, A motorcyclist who allegedly set a small fire in a rural foothill area of the San Bernardino Mountains has been booked for investigation of arson.

Forty-eight-year-old John Alfred Rund of Hesperia was arrested late Tuesday after authorities followed him to an address on State Route 173.

Another alleged arsonist was shot.

San Bernardino university police spotted a man in a rural area of flood channels and scrub near the campus. University police tried to detain the man, but he got into his car and fled, authorities said. When he began to ram officers' vehicle, they shot him.

The suspect is described as a 27-year-old man with a home address in Arizona. Sheriff's investigators will search his impounded pickup truck pending a search warrant, Lt. Scott Patterson of the San Bernardino Police Department said this afternoon.

and there's more...

Investigators have said that at least two of the huge wildfires, one in Orange County and the other in Temecula, were the work of arsonists.

Two in San Bernardino County, One each in Temecula and Orange County make four separate cases of arson discovered in just the past 24 hours. Natural disaster my ass.

NASA is helping.

An unmanned NASA aircraft outfitted with high-tech imaging equipment is in the air trying to help firefighters in Southern California locate wildfires. Pilots are controlling it remotely. Its thermal-infrared imaging system can see through thick smoke.
