[cassandra] wildfires of pyro-terrorism

Cassandra writes, of that terrible situation in California:

With reference to the massive, cataclysmic wildfire situation presently unfolding in California, the Politeia Article Database has been updated with information on Pyro Terrorism. Our thoughts and prayers are with the people who have been hit.

Amen to that. I've been close to a number of these in Australia and they're no fun.

  1. No fun, indeed. I was quite frightened during the summer when the fires blazed in Sicily - and they were certainly not on this scale.

  2. We are inundated with visuals constantly on the TV and I have never seen anything like it.
    The fact that is now thought to be arson is incredible.

  3. Welshcakes - yes, I remember your post.

    JMB - it can easily be arson. There were a number in Australia - NSW springs to mind.

  4. I can't think of anything more scary, and could these wildfires become more common in future years if our summers become increasingly hotter. You just can't run quick enough.
