    I read that the fire was started deliberately - Sarah and I saw a black Honda Accord full of some rough looking kids yesterday afternoon. They were acting rather suspiciously jsut at the junction of Silverado and Blackstar. Earlier they were up at Maple Springs acting a bit oddly. Might be useful info for the authorities? (altho no idea who to tell!)

    Keith, that's huge.

    Here's the arson report info from the ocregister site:

    He asked that anyone with information call a tip line at 800-540-8282.

    I would love to find the person that started this myself and tie there hands and feet together and throw them into the middle of everything! OK. I feel better now...

    You know.... I can understand many crimes. You kill somebody out of rage and anger. You rape because you hate women or were treated badly by them at some point. But arson makes no sense to me at all. I just don't get it!

    Or tie them up and throw them on the ground near a mound of fire ants.

    whenever it's windy like this and we're driving through the canyons (133) we're always suspicious of people pulled over on the side of the road.

    Give them a call Keith you never know.

    That's correct - I work there also and we've been watching the fire move down the hillside and into Borrrego. If you watch Fox11 you'll see the helicopter doing water drops right down into that ravine. Those homes are under voluntary evacuation now.

    is this where u saw them?

    The Orange County Fire Authority listed the cause of the fire as arson after firefighters found three ignition points near Santiago Canyon Road, east of Lake Irvine.

    I'm so glad that SlowSSer isnt me :lol:

    First of all they were up at Maple springs. Sat in the car for a while looking out then got out and walked off up Maple springs. 15 mins later when we'd rode down to Blackstar/Silverado junction they drove up. Parked up, looked at us. Then just drove off again. Pretty odd.
