Fire is as likely to come from
arson as it is anywhere else, and it's a little suspect when someone tries to
get somebody else to quickly rule out arson as even a possibility rather than as absolute, the way some writers write stories in the news about how the fire is thought to or does absolutely come from lightning, without offering any other realistic possibilities. Does telling
people a fire came from lightning rather than arson or another source really make them feel safer when they can end up just as
dead from a fire that started from lightning? Theres no good reason
people shouldn'
t question or speculate about where forest fires came from, especially when it's all over the west coast, which is unusual most years (even for fire prone areas).
