   The cartels would torture any arsonist that the cartel happened to catch for interfering with their business. They torture people to death for far less all the time.

     @gentoobro @meowski @p @NonPlayableClown That brings up another point: there are several illegal pot farms in the SoCal mountains. Booby trapped or even patrolled by armed guards. Even the Forest Service leaves them alone unless they get the sheriffs department to bring a massive convoy with SWAT and bomb squads. I don't know whether they are cartel associated, but they are definitely heavily protected.
     
     I don't know how or where these fires started, but if they were arson, I can't imagine they were much outside of city limits.

     South of the border and lawless deserts near the border, sure. On the US side, though, they just shoot you. It'd screw up their business to end up in the newspaper here.

     Those farms likely glow. While it's the sort of thing that cartels would do, the SoCal mountains are a very risky place to put an operation like that.
