Give me a fucking break.
Oh, wait, I think I get it: fires are ALWAYS deliberately set, except NOW, with global warming, they stay lit and spread.

Nine fires in one day in a definite pattern, and you call it global warming.

Of course. No one's saying the pattern doesn't indicate arson. But we've always had arson
