Southern California fires of October 21, 2016

Weird Mt Washington mansion fire. I don't know what to make of the news report, but I gather they had a strange scene and it sounds like the homeowner may have done something rash. Or something else, but the house burned and he died. If I had lived in this house, I would hope that I would have thought about talking to an attorney before I thought about talking to the press. Just sayin'.

This is just now on the local news, so I don't want to look for a link. All of a sudden, they interrupt this news report to tell us about another apparent fire/murder/suicide elsewhere in the area. I'm glad I stayed indoors today.

AND now there's a huge fire at a cardboard and wooden pallet recycling facility. I mean, if you were a fire, where would you want to live?

The first report is still unclear, and the second has gotten more awful. I think both fires are out, more or less. I'm watching firemen and homeowners try to douse their fences on the news chopper feed in the third case.
