The police have arrested a suspect in connection with the wildfires, though his identity remains undisclosed. According to Fox News, the arrest took place around 4:30 p.m. Thursday near Arcos Drive and Galendo Street. Residents spotted a man on a bicycle carrying a torch and attempting to ignite old Christmas trees and garbage cans. They managed to stop and zip-tie him until the police arrived.
The public reacted with outrage to the videos of arsonists, demanding their swift prosecution. “Arrest them all now,” one person wrote. “This feels like a third-world country.”
“Did you get the name of the person you saw lighting the fire? We need to know!” asked another.
“I can’t believe this!” someone else added. “This is so evil.”
On Twitter, users questioned the motives behind the arsonists’ actions. “What’s with these arsonists? What are they trying to achieve?” someone asked, while another remarked, “More than 99% chance there are bad actors going around taking advantage of the chaos.”
The public’s reactions and the viral videos validate Henry Winkler’s suspicion about arsonists contributing to the wildfires.
