Arson suspect in California Fires, but how do they know that?

Officials: 22,000-Acre Fire Was Set

ORANGE COUNTY, California (CNN) -- One of the larger fires in Southern California is a suspected arson, a fire official confirmed Thursday.

Firefighter Luke Perisin sets a backfire Wednesday against the Santiago Fire in Live Oak Canyon, California.

The FBI, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and
the Orange County Fire Authority are investigating the Santiago Fire,
which has burned more than 22,000 acres, Orange County Fire Battalion
Chief Kris Concepcion told CNN.

"The reason we think it is
[arson] is because we found multiple points of origin," Concepcion
said. "... Our investigators have confirmed that this is, in fact,
arson."

Concepcion would not say how the fire was started, but said evidence indicated the arsonist wanted the fire to grow rapidly.

All three of its points of origin are considered crime scenes, said Jim Amornino, a spokesman for the Orange County Sheriff's Department.

A $70,000 reward is being offered for any information leading to the
arrest of those responsible for setting the fire. No suspects have been
identified.

ryan nadel, Good stuff. It is a conspiracy by the George Bush administration to create intense Santa Ana wind conditions by giant war aircraft fans kept secret by his administration...and conservatives on his personal email list. An email, retreived by a liberal conspiracy buster, from Bush says he wanted to "fan out" San Francisco. However, the big fans were harder to pinpoint than thought and hit most of Southern California instead. ;) - with love to my liberal friends here at NP!
