What Caused The LA & Ventura Fires? Arson?

Was Arson the Cause of the Recent LA & Ventura Fires?

We have received several emails from readers who also are suspicious of arson as the possible cause.  The recent fires seem too close in proximity and also seem like they were all started on the same night.  They also seem like they were started near heavily populated areas and near oil and gas & utility infrastructure.  

I hope police and fire are investigating.  Here are some recent cases of people being arrested for starting fires.  Here is another article suggesting terrorists are setting us wildfires.

Cell Phone Coverage Problems in Santa Rosa

Map of Cell Phone Coverage Problems in Santa Rosa

The hills of Santa Rosa have always had cell phone coverage problems for residents as you can see by the complaints on the map above.  Communication was a nightmare on the night of the evacuation thanks to poor coverage problems in the area.  

I have heard that AT&T is setting up temporary cell phone towers in the area to help with emergencies.  If anyone has map data on this please share below.
