Approximately 20 Fires Set Over the Weekend Are Suspicious, Says Gasquet Fire Chief
On Saturday, he said, there were about 10 fires set near Siskiyou Fork. He suspects an arsonist. “Someone lit like 10 fires down there,” he said.
The scenes of the fires on Saturday and Sunday are similar. “But I’m not sure if they are related,” Karanopulos noted.
He added, “A lot of people are freaking out because they are watching the fires down in Paradise.” He said that his community is worried that that fires in their area will cause similar damage to the ones down in Butte County and in Southern California. “We are still pretty damp,” he said. “We’ve had some rain…These fires have been pretty low intensity.”
The twenty fires set over the weekend are under now control. “All fires have been lined with hose and hand line,” Karanopulos said. “Huge thanks to Crescent City Fire, Fort Dick Fire, Smith River Fire and Alder Crew Five [an inmate crew] for all their hard work.”

Fentynal based Mexican meth?
Cristal make crazy,opiate helps one relax.
So you’d be really relaxed for 18 hours.
A bit farther south, but still the same (Humboldt/Trinity/Mendocino) area, one thing that’s different is being under a Red Flag warning in mid-November. Hearing the wind come up in the night with the humidity in the teens is nerve-wracking. Seeing a series of fires as we’ve had for the past several years has us all well aware of the potential danger. And having to abandon your vehicle and run for your life as has happened in the Delta, Camp, and other fires is the stuff of nightmares… at least for me.
Ditto…not how i thought my later years would be like on our Earth.
Too many people stirring an already boiling pot. How stress causes people to be determined to cause more is very strange but it seems it does. What possibly is the thinking that goes into setting fires? A feeling of helplessness being derailed into taking control by starting them?
Why does a serial killer keep killing people? One of the universes mysteries…..
Just pure, unadulterated, last-days evil.
Might check into the pschy of arson.
The individual gets off on seeing fire burn. Once fire is set they are usually close by watching. It’s an illness, a very bad sick.minded individual. However these days there are also the immature ones that think setting a fire is a big joke. I say throw them into their own fire. Tables turned.
Note to arsonists. Your action is ATTEMPTED MURDER. Every time you do it! Do you realize that!
Maybe he was just trying to warm people up. You do understand it’s getting cold out right?
An arson investigator told me that this sort of thing often has a strong sexual component. The culprit is often found masturbating — sometimes with great enthusiasm — near the fire.
This sounds weird; however, the man who told me this I considered very reliable.
Where I live now, in Oregon, we had a series of arsons in my little town. One included us, burning our truck up as well as another car and trying to burn down a business and a home, all with in blocks of each other.
I was told later that the police knew who it was, but could not prove it. But it was known that whenever he had difficulties with his wife/girlfriend, he’d go set fires.
It happened a number of times.
Maybe they should accidentally on purpose let the neighbors know who it is so they can watch him.
Do most everything in life with “great enthusiasm”. Everything but arson.
Most of the time the arsonist works on the fire department, volunteer fire fighters are always suspect as glory seekers.
It’s sad but there are rotten apples in every crop.
Might also be that pyros are attracted to line of work.
Now hiring?
Its hardly ” most of the time”. It does happen but not common..
Someone needs to be exiled
Tony Montana: “Once you’re in you can’t get out.” (say hello to my ‘little’ friend)
All of the above is right. The only way I see things returning to what we might call normal (or peaceful), is everyone returning to the time when we all respected each other’s opinions, no matter how wrong we thought (or knew) they were. A kind of pay it forward tolerance toward each other. But how likely is that? I, for one, have gotten a smidge better at it, thanks to Kim and her web site. Anyone who can put up with all our collective bs and still move forward in an unbiased way must have mastered the art of liberality (as defined on my Mac Dictionary Thesaurus for tolerance). Most of us have lost it, or never had it.
Thanks Kim
Thank my mom. She’s my model for good behavior.
Thanks Kym’s mom. You done really good!
Thanks Kym’s mom and thank you Kym.
That’s because your mom is an amazing woman, so are you. Don’t ever forget that. Love you both❤️
Love you, too!
What in the crazy cray cray?? Seriously some people have serious problems. I hope they catch this fool.
You can thank Prop 57 for this.
Arson (along with other horrors) is now considered non-violent, and those psychopaths have been loosed on the public.
Great.
