From American Thinker. When it gets hot, Southern California can become a furnace, and when wildfires start, it becomes a literal furnace. Because of these wildires, local residents pay high homeowner insurance rates, when they can get any at all, and accept strict regulations about clearing brush and not starting open flames on broiling hot dry days.

But as fire season kicks in through October, the desert badlands of San Diego County near the border nevertheless are seeing wildfires, lots of wildfires, all because under the Harris-Biden administration, the border is still wide open. …

According to East County Magazine:

… along the international border, campfires lit by migrants and fires set by smugglers have sparked numerous recent blazes — also igniting public safety concerns.

After a surge in border fires in May, Amy Reichert, chairwoman of Restore San Diego, obtained public records from CalFire from May 1 through June 1. Reichert claimed that of the eight fires along the border May 1-June 1, seven were tied to illegal border crossers, with one of undetermined cause, since it started in Mexico.

ECM fact-checked that claim and found it largely accurate, with migrant fires the most likely cause of six fires, shooting the most likely cause in one fire despite a campfire nearby, and the Mexico fire of undetermined cause. …

Here’s the exact details from the CalFIRE records, as East County Magazine reported:

May 11:  Border 44 Fire in Marron Valley south of Jamul:  27 acres. This fire was “probably arson,” Cal Fire’s incident report states. …

May 13: Border 45 Fire, Marron Valley:  2.43 acres. Cause is believed to be “burning personal items, possibly a signal fire for help” as occurs when a migrant becomes lost, injured or dehydrated.  Eight people found nearby denied setting the fire.  …

May 14,Border 46 Fire, base of Tecate Peak:  4.7 acres. Cause was a distress/signal fire; vacated campfires were in the area.

May 15, Border 47 Fire, Marron Valley:  50 acres. Probably cause is arson. …

May 19, Border 49 Fire in Marron Valley:  3.89 acres:  This was caused by debris and open burning from a bonfire set on the edge of a roadway. Cal Fire found a “high level of suspicion” that the fire was started by international travelers who had crossed the border, finding evidence of “dozens of bonfires set by international travelers” along Barrett Truck Trail.

May 26, Border 51 Fire,Marron Valley:  10.98 acres. Cal Fire could not determine the cause of this fire despite evidence of an “open fire for warming/cooking” as a contributing cause. However, a witness reported hearing gunshots and saw smoke, as well as a black vehicle driving away form the area, a popular shooting area, so gunfire is also a possible cause. …

June 1, Border 52 Fire in Otay:  0.1 acre.  Cal Fire found the most probably cause to be shooting …

June 1,Border 53 Fire which burned 300 acres burned on the U.S. side of the border. Cause is undetermined, since it started in Mexico. …

They set up campfires wherever they want. They set wildfires to attract border agents to pick them up and transport them to their destinations of choice. They burn down border vehicles because they don’t like the Border Patrol. It’s shocking what they will do whenever they want something, given the danger of the fire risk and just how big and catastrophic these fires can get once they get out of control. …
