Homeland Security NTARC News | 10/27/2006 | no comments
Investigators are searching for the person who set the deadly Esperanza Fire in Southern California. They say the suspect they’re seeking likely knew exactly how quickly a small fire, set in a strategic spot and backed by strong winds would spread.
As in the 91,000-acre Old Fire, an arrest might be difficult, area arson investigators said. The 19,000-acre Esperanza Fire was set in the dead of night in a remote area near Banning, about 18 miles west of Palm Springs.
