Okay, it might be arson, and often is, but it's not along I-5. The fires are along the west side of the Cascades, which run parallel to I-5. The fires are 45-100 miles East of I-5. We had huge winds that blew in late Monday afternoon, around 7:00 pm, and it fanned the flames pushing the fires west into the dry forest. The last I knew neither Antifa nor BLM could control the wind.
I'm in Eugene, Oregon. That makes me an authority.
True of their location, but the strongest winds are blowing West Southwest and not South. Plus those fires are popping randomly along the line and not linearly following the fire line and wind direction. This is arson.
I travel to Ashland/Medford/Portland often and have friends in Eugene and Portland. That makes me an authority ;-)

Holy shit man, thanks for the on the ground reporting.
Now we have first hand evidence that wind can blow so hard that it simultaneously lights 20 fires over a few hundred miles of coastline.
Greta was so right.
