You can clearly see the fires burning. And the conditions there are perfect for a natural fire. With that being said, the cause of the fire hasn't been determined, and we know what some people are willing to do to advance their cause.
I get the point. We should be wary. But forest fires happen every summer. Let's not be like the climate change alarmists who warn that forest fires are caused by drought. They happen every year around the same time.
And I'm sure this one was started illegitimately as well, doesn't mean we need to lump it in with the other protest/riot news going on right now. We can find out afterwards what caused the fire.
Phoenix has had 2 so far this season. We had a monsoon blow through (way early) with dust storm + thunderstorm this evening (technically yesterday). Fortunately rain came with the lightning this round.
Anyway. We had April rains in the desert this year. Now it's in the 110s and there's dry tinder everywhere. This happens every year at this time.
So yeah. Nature doesn't give a fuck about this. It's going to carry on with brush fires just like it does every year at this time. Phoenix has already had two this year, preceding this nonsense.
Capacitors and transformers explode violently like that. Especially the large ones. All going off at once would be a hell of a fireball like we see here
They've been planning to go after the grid forever though so we must stay vigilant of this possibility.
It's a forest fire.

Guess why fires happen in the middle of the night during times of civil unrest
Because it's entering Utah's forest fire season?

Forest fires dont happen randomly.
95% of fires in CA are started by illegals or homeless.

Yup. I guess I need to give some leeway to people who live in "greener" areas, but I think we desert folk can recognize what a wildfire looks like.
Because nature doesn't give a fuck about our pathetic riots.
Who says forest fires are natural? Most are man made.
Man isn't part of nature?

There was an explosion, so no forest fire.
Update: Seems it is a fire. Link
The timing is weird though considering the riots. Did someone intentionally start it?

The explosion is the power substation going up. All of the other fires you see in the background are due to a forest fire.
