    Pushing a burning car into a gulley during the height of fire season has to be one of the most hairbrained ideas I've ever heard of. The depth of the stupidity of some people is mind-boggling.
  • this sounds like domestic terrorism... Who pushes a burning car into a gully?
  • @jl535
    I spent 13 years as a fire fighter. You'd be shocked to know how many fires are the result of arson.
  • @CathyNavarrette
    He should get the death penalty or life in prison. If not aught to have to fight fires and helping the victims
  • @linjp2773
    I've always wondered how many fires in California have been caused by arsonists. I hope authorities determine quickly whether this was intentional or just careless.
  • @CALredhead
    How could anyone in their right mind start a disaster endangering the lives of brave fire fighters who risk their lives to protect us, our families, our pets & animals and our property?!! I just can't understand - that man seriously needs help & our prayers.
  • Ironically the fire started right past were they did a prescribed burn last month.
  • @SierraThunder
    It wouldn't surprise me at all if they were to find human remains in that car, that is if the remains aren't totally incinerated......
  • This is happening in wa state and the cops refuse to do anything about it
  • It's time to vote in leadership that will solve wildfire prevention. It's not rocket science. Make fire breaks, permit livestock grazing of public lands to consume underbrush overgrowth. When done properly it doesn't cost taxpayers any money, reduces property and home loss while saving endangered and other animals.

    CA seems to have HUGE problems, as well as Canada with uncontrollable fires. So much so, the smoke from these places affect many states to the east and south of them. They can't seem to clean up their dead brush or dead trees that get out of control.
