Who is causing these terrible fires in California (summer 2016)? Occam’s razor would suggest that they are mentally troubled arsonists and a series of copycats with the same ‘love of fire’ or need to project themselves and cause harm to us all. However, what if it was an act of terrorism? After all, these terrible wildfires terrify us all. Every time we turn on the TV and watch people evacuate their homes in fear, wondering if they will still be there when they return, it makes us all think about our own vulnerabilities. What if international terrorists were starting these fires?

There was an interesting article in the UPI news updates titled; “New Fire Breaks Out at SoCal Wildfire Scene; 2 Roads Closed; Residents Flee Danger Zone – Authorities say the Blue Cut Fire started Tuesday morning and burned about 2,000 acres in about a hour”, by Doug G. Ware and Shawn Price posted on August 16, 2016 which read:

“A new fire tore its way across the pockmarked Southern California landscape Tuesday, shutting down parts of two major freeways and forcing mandatory evacuations in an area already extensively blackened by wildfires this year,” and “This fire is still out of control.” .”

Firefighters on television said the fire was unusually “explosive” and fast-growing. Hmm? And yes?

Are there arson terrorists using the dispersion of particle compounds as accelerants? The reason I’m asking is these current fires in Southern California are moving really fast and explosive, it’s not as hot, nor are the winds as strong as Santa Ana wind conditions. These fires are in areas bad for transportation, rail, power lines, gas lines, and highways, like cutting through southern CA. Something terrorists could do.

This type of arson weapon is thermobaric based and uses a large forest fire to help disperse a cloud of fine explosive particles or place those particles on the hillside. I hope not, but remember terrorists are not stupid and have read our reports on how to protect CA or how to deal with a “Red Dawn Scenario” in southern CA, there was a Popular Science article on this and the contingency plan of the Department of Defense. .

Of course, our DHS (Department of Homeland Security) is well aware of such challenges and does not take anything lightly – these arson investigators are taking all of this seriously as well. Protecting our civilization and our society from international terrorism is a truly difficult challenge. Please consider all this and think about it.
