Source – The Holy Fire continues burning across Orange and Riverside counties, two of the state’s most populous, and as of Thursday night had scorched more than 10,236 acres. It remains only 5% contained, according to the national forest’s Twitter feed.
“Firefighters continue to battle the blaze around the clock,” the national forest tweet said. “We expect favorable weather conditions this weekend to help these efforts.”
Schools have been closed in Menifee, Perris and Lake Elsinore.

With temperatures soaring past 100 degrees, an excessive heat warning has been issued for the fire area.
Although it’s not the largest fire burning in the state, there are growing concerns about how it could affect residential communities, including Lake Elsinore. Some small communities in Riverside County are under mandatory evacuation orders affecting about 7,000 residential structures, according to authorities.

Wassup dickhead. Nice hair. Maybe he started it with the helpful hand of the grease in his head. Looking at the devastation in the faces of people who lost everything, including loved ones, has been brutal to watch on TV (when CNN can tear themselves away from covering Mango Mussolini). I can’t imagine how fucking apoplectic they must be knowing someone did this on purpose.

They should strap a firesuit on this doucher and send him into the hills of Lake Elsinore to fight the fire he set until he (almost) dies of heat exhaustion. Then do it again the next day until the fires out THEN send this prick to prison for the rest of his life.
I overthink everything so when I read this was intentional I tried to figure out why someone would set fires and to what end? Barring a fucking glaring character flaw, what pissed him off enough to decide to light the state of California on fire? Does he hate squirrels and other forms of wildlife? Did his wife die in the woods and is he still angry? Did he hate the rich folks in Lake Elsinore? That’s what every person affected by these fires wants to know too. It’s probably easier to wrap your head around shit like this when it’s mother natures fault but impossible to reconcile when Forrest Clark did it.
