They should charge him with domestic terrorism

Arson suspect is a real POS! Never let that guy out of jail.

I was affected by the beachie creek fire in Oregon 4 yrs ago exactly and this is horrifying, 200' tall flames ravaging everything in its path, we lost our warehouse with our live edge furniture inventory in it and everything in our town was destroyed save a few businesses and houses. It will take a lifetime for the area to recover. This man is deserving of life in prison for the destruction he has unleashed.

Life in prison for wildfire arson suspects

That's crime against mother nature.

Human made wildfires. No wonder the fires are so fierce and so hard to contain.

The usual suspect smh all they do is destroy

There has to be questions.

What was his motivation?
Was his intention to harm or decimate the landscape?
Was it politically or socially, or racially motivated?

Cause it sounds like he intended to do more damage and thankfully got caught.

That is so sad I cannot believe he did this terrible

At the line fire, there are two lakes for the planes and helicopters to draw from. The airport fire has one also. There is one smaller reservoir, that they might be using for the last and largest of the fires.

Do insurance companies even cover property up there anymore?

He should say that he fell asleep and doesn't remember what happend.

What makes a human want to do this? People need some hobbies

License plate readers... so we are being tracked. Good that they caught him but wow. Everyone's movement is being monitored.
