The Bridge Fire in California grew 10 times in size over 24 hours to become the state’s largest wildfire, destroying at least 33 homes, as firefighters grappled with three major blazes.
One of the fires, the Line Fire in the San Bernardino National Forest, has resulted in the arrest of a man accused of “intentionally igniting” it, the sheriff’s office said. more
I live in Riverside, CA. We are surrounded by the Airport Fire, the Bridge Fire, and the Line Fire.
Our skies have been smoky for days. It finally was under 90 degrees today.
God bless our firefighters and first responders.
I fully support the death penalty for Justin Wayne Halstenberg.
What is it with guys named “Justin?”
…and then theres THESE assholes in Chile, who killed 137 people so far from flinging lit cigarettes out their windows to INTENTIONALLY set fires because they wanted to be heroes and also, overtime pay as VOULENTEER firefighters…

…since its Chile, I would recommend the Pinochet treatmemt ususally reserved for Communists, but with the modification of dropping them from helicopters into the hottest part of the fires they started, so their blood can help extinguish it and to jump-start them into a well-deserved eternety in the flames of hell…
“The Bridge Fire in California grew 10 times in size over 24 hours to become the state’s largest wildfire……from 4,000 acres early Tuesday to 46,000 acres by evening”
WOW a whole 46,000 acres /s
I guess news only matters if you are in Southern Ca. The Park Fire…up our way (now finally contained) was a mere 429,603 acres. 429 THOUSAND acres. Fire also started on purpose.
Agh can’t edit my comment. I wanted to stress that it was HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS of acres. Not to diminish the losses of those in LA but the reporting should be accurate. /facepalm…what was I thinking.
DBQ, I think the headline was (probably not intentionally) misleading too.
The largest brush fire that I experienced in SoCal was the Cedar fire in 2003. 270,000 acres, over 22,000 homes lost, and 15 deaths. Cause was inexperienced hiker got lost and set off a flair during our hottest, driest time of year.
Edit: Cedar fire – over 2,200 homes lost.
What are the odds the arsonist is a “climate activist”?
@Tony R, I agree. Put him in a helicopter and drop him where the flames are hottest so he can really enjoy his fire.
Agatha Kakalogical – My cousin and her husband live in Riverside County, Lake Elsinore. Beautiful area & fires can be fought with the water from the lake itself.
