The Carbon Canyon fire is burning about 1 mile from my house and the firefighters have kept it that way since 5:30 am.

i was at my buddies place over the weekend in north hollywood, on friday night at like midnight we drove up the street to the sylmar fire, it was pretty damn crazy. I've never seen anything like that before. I don't understand how those things start, they say due to the heavy winds, but there has to be another factor.

Low humidity, and plentiful fuel on the mountain sides. They think the majority of the fires that happen are arson, due to fire bugs.

Yeah that happened last year, a lady tossed her butt out the window and it caught fire. You also have to keep in mind the fact that the fire chief says 9 times out of 10 it will go out before it starts a fire.

There were those 5-6 fire in the last couple of years that were started by firemen just so they would have something to do. Think they were caught and sent to jail for that, but what says there aren't more that do it and don't get caught.
