@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.
