Maui fires, arson?

@AbbySvenz
If you were going to commit such a crime, wouldn't you be smart enough to wait until the conditions were right to cover your tracks?

@BlueGreenGrey You could never be an investigator if you lived a billion years.

[i]Hawaii Island police investigate arson as cause of the Kaʻū wildfire[/i]
"Following news from Hawaii County of the Hawaii Fire Department neutralizing the brushfires in Kaʻū in Naalehu and Pahala, Hawaii Island police announced the launch of an arson investigation into the Kaʻū brushfire that’s been determined to have started under suspicious circumstances, according to police.

On the afternoon of Aug. 9, the Hawaii Fire Department received a report of several brushfires on Mill Camp Road in Pahala. They found two separate fires upon arrival, one on either side of Mill Camp Road. They were burning in the same area, but how the fires started appeared to be different, according to a news release.

Detectives determined that an unattended cooking fire started one of the fires.

The second fire may have been intentionally set as investigators found an incendiary device on the roadway where they believe the fire started."

@Diotrephes But those weren't the fires in Maui. One of those looks like an insurance thing, one was an unattended fire and the other, I would imagine, was a pissed off local sending a message to a film crew.

@Ynotisay Sure, that's one way of looking at it but the other way is that those fires were just training runs for something like the Maui fire. Were the cops able to apprehend any of the suspects in those fires? If not there there's the likelihood that one or more of those perps could be responsible for the Maui fire. And, if the perp, or perps, get away with it, you can expect similar things to happen in the future.

@BlueGreenGrey Where's your home base, Russia, North Korea, Iran, Israel, China?

Pssst. Space laser.🤫@BlueGreenGrey

@BlueGreenGrey You are such a sweetheart!

@Diotrephes I don't know if it works like that. Purposeful arson is most always around property. As one who lives in a forest with real wildfire risk, arsonists aren't the concern. Unaware/Disrespectful/Careless idiots and lightning is where it's at.

@Diotrephes
You said: "If you were going to commit such a crime, wouldn't you be smart enough to wait until the conditions were right to cover your tracks?"

Great point.

@AbbySvenz sure. Americans understand what driving their cars did to the atmosphere and society. Terror. Lolz! But you like terror and you can't stop+ it's your character, Americans. You - terror is you.

@Roundandroundwego lol yes only American cars are responsible for the air quality and climate change. You really don’t think before you post do you ??

@sree251
Really?! Great point ?! Even a broken clock is right twice a day. So busy with the conspiracy theories that you’re missing the concrete offenses and true crime of this atrocity. Sad
