The City better get on this, this is out of control. Way to go residents!

They are investigating these fires don't assume anything.. A resident put the fire out and engine one is hosing down the spot at this time..

Of course there is always a chance that things may not be as they seem, at any rate I'm out of here until I hear more..

There seem to be a few homeless camps along Loma Alta. You can see the trails through the bushes and the resulting piles of debris. Not sure if they are related to these fires, though.

I can't say for sure because I've heard acouple different things..It's happened in the past though..

COMMENT 366527	2013-01-23 09:36 AM
Another fire? Anyone know who to report homeless "camps" to? Straight to the non emergency police line, or property owners?
ROGER DODGER	2013-01-23 09:43 AM
Report homeless camps to the police it's legal.
COMMENT 366809P	2013-01-24 02:42 AM
Property owners can enforce no trespassing. Report to property owners and hope they invoke that. If it's on city property then no dice.

Maybe the culprit hates homeless camps and is attempting to burn them out.
