Police Arrest Multiple Suspects In Connection With West Coast Wildfires
10 Sep 2020 ~~ By Holly Matkin
Law enforcement agencies across the West Coast have arrested multiple alleged arsonists accused of intentionally setting fires while hundreds of blazes wreak havoc in several states.
At least seven people have died, hundreds of homes have been destroyed, and countless communities have been evacuated, CNN reported.
A one-year-old boy was killed in Washington state as he and his parents tried to flee the Cold Springs Fire over Labor Day weekend, KOMO reported.

The Lane County Sheriff’s Office (LCSO) in Oregon announced in a Facebook post on Sept. 1 that it had arrested 44-year-old Elias Newton Pendergrass on a first-degree arson charge in connection with the Sweet Creek Fires.
On Tuesday, a suspect ignited two brush fires in Oregon’s Dexter State Recreation Area, KMTR reported.
Witnesses caught the middle-aged suspect in the act, and told police he took off in a green SUV.
The witnesses were able to get the fires out before first responders arrived, KMTR reported.

Police in Spokane, Washington, arrested 36-year-old Christine Comello for allegedly starting at least two fires in the area, KHQ reported.
Witnesses told police they saw Comello start one fire outside a commercial business, and accused her of setting a second fire next to an oil drum beneath a tree, police said.
Washington State Patrol (WSP) District 1 Public Information Officer Trooper Ryan Burke announced in a tweet on Wednesday that officers from multiple jurisdictions apprehended a 36-year-old man for setting a fire in the median of SR-167 in Puyallup.
The Gateway Pundit identified the suspect as Jeffrey Accord, a local Black Lives Matter activist.
In California, highway patrol troopers arrested 37-year-old Anita Esquivel for allegedly starting an unspecified number of fires in the area of Highway 101 near Boronda Road at about 9 a.m. on Monday, KION reported.
Esquivel has been charged with arson.
Comment:
It would be interesting to see if they have any prior arrests involved with Antifa/BLM. I’m assuming their computers and cell phones are also up for grabs.
If they can burn down cities and police stations, what makes anyone think they wouldn’t resort to starting massive forest/wildfires as an effort to occupy law enforcement etc?
But I did see an article today where that this was NOT antifa. Yeah, sure...
Indeed, Governor's Inslee and Brown are claiming the wild fires are caused by Climate change and not arson...
Oddly, more than two months ago, I was wondering when Antifa would begin torching off brush fires...When do they start taking hostages, setting off car bombs and ambushing police using IED's?
