There are 7 or 8 large fires burning in San Diego right now…

The first one started yesterday… the rest all popped up today… all over San Diego… all around my house…

a 1 a 7

They all started small… you know… like fires do…

a 1 a 6

But they all spread. A couple of them were put out before they got too big. But homes have been lost, and thousands of acres burned. Some of them are still growing.

a 1 a 5

The air is full of smoke… you can taste it and smell it and feel your eyes burning. Fires are nothing new to San Diego…

a 1 a 4

But this many fires, starting in this many places in this short of a time span?

a 1 a 3

It is starting to seem a little suspicious…

a 1 a 2

I don’t know if this is a terrorist thing… or just one sick asshole…

a 1 a 1

But I hope they catch whoever it is.

  1. I didn’t realize this was the result of intentional fire starting. There are no words to accurately describe the kind of being who would do that.
    You and your family stay safe, Art.

    Scary stuff. I didn’t realize that they suspected that they had been intentionally started. There are way too many assholes in our world.

    Sure sounds suspicious. Arsonists should be lynched.

    I hope they catch them too! It’s just horrendous how much loss & destruction can be caused by some idiot!

  5. That’s pretty scary; hope you and yours are all ok

    We live in a canyon, so I can relate to yearly fire scares. That’s WAY too many fires to be coincidental. Amazing how they will track the culprit down though. Those fire investigators are bloodhounds. Stay safe!

  7. Wow that’s scary. I hope they get them under control quickly! You want I should send my Hubby out to help? He’s a volunteer fire fighter. 🙂

  8. My Aunt lives in Vista, last night she said there were six fires within a mile of her house. I can’t imagine how scary it must be… Isn’t it unusually hot there as well for this time of year?

  9. Be careful out there, my friend.

    what everybody else said. And then some! Darn polar vortex.

  11. I always thought these fires started from the ground being dry and dead plants and weeds that the sun ignites. Either way it’s scary. Stay safe.

    • They often start because of cars backfiring, or careless smokers or campers. Not spontaneous combustion. But these started one after the other all over the county in a big circle.

    Shiiiiit, is it just really hot or likely to be arson?

  14. Yes. Stay safe. And save the squirrels.
