They actually caught some wacko trying to start a fire.

This guy went to a restaurant after starting the fire and was arrested.

They also found 4 or 5 charred bodies, possibly immigrant workers.

Definitely a nasty fire.

The slimeball who desecrated the Marine's grave got my inner evil genie out of the bottle and now I'm reading about a &/:"+#! torch.

Me thinks public hanging is sounding real good right now.

I'm hoping they got the goods on this guy - arson is a tough one to get a conviction. The reward for info leading to the conviction of the person who started the fire in O.C. is up to 250k.
Better yet, if you see someone torching a canyon, run 'em over.
