(CNN)An Oregon man was arrested after he admitted to setting a brush fire along a highway, police said, as wildfires burn through large swaths of the West Coast.

Then, they said, he set six more.

Domingo Lopez Jr., 45, was booked Sunday afternoon after witnesses said he set a section of grass along the I-205 freeway on fire with what appears to be a Molotov Cocktail, according to a report by the Portland Police Bureau.

Lopez admitted to lighting the fire, and he was booked on charges of reckless burning and disorderly conduct in the second degree, according to the report.

to make a decent molotov cocktail either. Glass bottles, ya dumb ass. They shatter and all that gas goes boooom. The only saving grace is, these people are idiots.

that would get you noticed IF you were a republican. Logic like that would get you a cabinet position in the Trump administration. You must have republicans in your family, because that's what some members of my family would posit from that story.
