This is the 2nd fire in 24 hours in Canyon Country.
When is the sheriff or fire department going to tell us what is going on? What started it? Or better yet WHO?
And when are they going to hold people responsible for starting these?
Our police department needs to catch whoever is starting these fires. When is it going to become obvious that we have a firebug (or more) out there?
