I didn't realize that global warming compelled people to start fires.
SANTA CLARITA, Calif. -- Officials blamed a wildfire that consumed more than 38,000 acres and destroyed 21 homes last week on a boy playing with matches, and said they would ask a prosecutor to consider the case.
The boy, whose name and age were not released, admitted to sparking the fire on Oct. 21, Los Angeles County sheriff's Sgt. Diane Hecht said Tuesday. Ferocious winds helped it quickly spread.
"He admitted to playing with matches and accidentally starting the fire," Hecht said in a statement.
The boy was released to his parents, and the case will be presented to the district attorney's office, Hecht said. It was not clear if he had been arrested or cited by detectives.
The fire began in an area near Agua Dulce and quickly spread. It was among 15 or so major wildfires that killed 14 people, destroyed some 2,100 homes and blackened 809 square miles from Los Angeles to the Mexican border last week.
Authorities arrested five people for arson during that period, but none have been linked to any of the major blazes.
The wildfires were supposed to be an indication of nature run amok because of years of abuse by gluttonous human beings and their irresponsible, environmentally unfriendly lifestyles.
Global warming alarmists don't want to hear about people starting the fires, whether intentionally or accidentally.
I don't think a boy playing with matches counts as an example of fires resulting because the planet has a fever.
Do excessive carbon emissions CAUSE kids to be careless with matches?
Do incandescent light bulbs have something to do with a kid sparking a fire?
