There are now at least 5 wildfires in different parts of the state which are officially being blamed on severe drought! conditions. All are currently/have been "under investigation".
2 have been "solved" - one to a 14 year old accused of arson{no picture, obviously} wonder if he/she was angry about the election results? Timing is highly curious.
Another attributed to a guy at a gun range who turned himself in.
Here's the latest incident: https://6abc.com/post/crews-battling-wildfire-hainesport-burlington-county-live/15557178/
This Burlington County fire is just the latest as thousands of acres have burned across the region over the last several weeks. Former Hainesport Mayor Bruce MacLachlan says he has never seen it this bad.
Even in extreme drought! conditions, there's a spark somewhere. It's highly probable arson is at play since every wildfire is still under investigation weeks after they were started.
This state is corrupt to the core
I have mixed thoughts about wild fires. Hundreds of years ago Mother Nature probably had fires start and they would burn thousands of acres until they burned themselves out. Think renewal. Now citizens have purchased a piece of land and built a house upon that land and a wild fire rips through the neighborhood and turns everything into a pile of ash. Big loss for the residents. But it does have a cleansing effect like Mother Nature did in the past. Hopefully everyone who lost something had it covered by insurance, but the priceless memories, i.e. childhood dolls, rare books, pictures, etc cannot be replaced. Maybe everyone who owns anything needs to go in with the notion that nothing is permanent and maybe, just maybe there could be a disaster that might take it away. Think about tidal waves or tornados. If the fires were purposefully set then the arsonist needs to be held accountable. If it was an accident.....I'll let the courts decide the fate of the individual. If Mother Nature started it then the insurance companies will be very busy paying out claims.
Well, we have programs and federal funding for local fire authorities to do controlled burns so natural fires don't get out of control, CA just doesn't do anything with that money that it was intended for and I'm assuming NJ follows suit
