Jim Warman Posted November 2, 2011 Author Share Posted November 2, 2011 The operative wording, through all of this is "likely caused by arson"... I wont pretend to know what they are investigating or where but, around here, it could even be from the hot exhaust of an ATV or even a couple of hikers blowing a doobie... I don't know. What I do suspect is officials trying to deflect attention away from some mistakes and miscues that could have made this tragedy take a very different course. Including having people advised that all was safe even as the flames were licking at the doorstep of our town. If it was deliberately set, I hope they find those responsible and give them the rehabilitation they must surely need. But this will not unring the bell. We need to concentrate on the things done badly and educate our emergency personnel and address operating procedures to ensure that we never have the clusterfuck we had on May 15th. FWIW, most everyone I know is still waiting for an evacuation order - because we never got one. We left toen - not because we were told to - but because it was quite plainly the prudent thing to do.
