Now. I am a mechanic by trade. I think that qualifies me to point out chainsaws use a gasoline oil mixture to run (sarcasm). There is a chainsaw present in the picture. There are no gas stations nearby in the forest. Its pretty typical for forest services to backpack gasoline into the wilderness when operating chainsaws. While it could be used to fuel a fire this isnt proof of anything. You dont need gasoline to start a raging brush fire.
No. I agree. But this doesn't prove anything and just becomes a strawman for people to say "see baseless claims of antifa arson! They're helping stop wildfires you hillbilly!"
I believe there are arsonists lighting fires. I think its likely that it's leftist activists. But this picture does nothing to backup the claim that antifa is involved. It's possible there are antifa sympathizing firefighters (their gear is all legit... kinda expensive and would take a lot of research to come up with as a disguise). Its POSSIBLE these guys did light fires. But again this photo isn't going to convince anyone on the fence.
I think its better to redpill people just on the actual proven cases of arson alone. Let them come to their own conclusions.

But, Antifa flags are not standard issue for firefighters.
