We didn't start the fire...but someone did

The Santiago fire, which has engulfed Orange County and been emblazoned into news headlines, was set by an arsonist, according to authorities. A $70,000 reward is being offered for information.

Listen to how sinister this person has to be. When asked about the motive, the fire battallion chief said:

"That's the part that I really can't figure out, to tell you the truth. That individual knew on Sunday when this fire started that we had, really, the perfect storm, if you will. We had the heavy Santa Ana winds, we had the low relative humidities, we had the high temperatures. And then for someone to even think about doing something as reprehensible as starting a fire where they knew the fire would grow as rapidly as it would -- traveling about three, 3 ½ miles in about an hour -- is just really absolutely unconscionable."
