ParticipantAm I the only one who has noticed of late that many firemen stand around doing nothing while houses catch on fire? I live up here in OC and have been watching the local OC and LA county fires and man it is quite evident from the helicopter tV shots. 5 or 6 standing around while structures burn. I’m starting to question this G0d-like stature we give them. Sure I know many are hard working and put themselves in harms way, but this crap I’m seeing on TV is bad publicity. Some guy on the radio today who lost his place in the Irvine/Santiago fire just ripped the Fire depts collective ass for not making any effort to save his place. He said they just up and left. After it burned to the ground they came back and were everywhere. I’m beginning to wonder if the FD is getting a little lazy depending too much on air power to fight these things. Anyone else noticing this? How bout down in SD county?

ParticipantGlad to hear you are back home, SD Realtor. Thank you for addressing these posts.
I’m watching this from Michigan and cannot comprehend what is going on. This is of Katrina proportions. It seems so unreal.
The rest of the country is wondering why anyone would be crazy enough to live in this disaster prone area, kinda lumping San Diego with New Orleans (hurricanes) or Oklahoma (tornado alley). San Diego can easily go up in flames with no conspiracy help.
I wish all of you evacuees the best. Please keep piggington informed so we know how you’re doing.

ParticipantStatistically arson as a percentage is very low on causes of wild fires. There are numerous natural and inadvertent human causes. If you were going to play the odds a conspiracy theory would not be a good bet. Though it is something we will never know for sure unless there is a smoking gun or confession.
However I am a firm believer in

ParticipantLater on we’ll conspire
as we sit by the fire…
I doubt very much any “serious” theory forwarded that this REALLY has anything to do w/ the RE market.
That however did not preempt me from mentioning it, for some minds indeed naturally gravitate toward these theories.

ParticipantA few general comments:
The idea is to light the wildfire first, before torching the homes. Or take advantage of the naturally occurring fire to torch a property.
This is a common practice in urban arson, torch a nearby abandoned building just prior to the real target.

Google ‘firefighter arson’ for *LOTS* of hits.
For the record this is *purely* speculation on my part. I would still like to see the data I mentioned after the smoke clears.
