I took this from across an intersection so as not to block traffic. Also the smoke makes it hard to read. But these are the people who spent most of the week working around the clock risking their lives protecting our property and houses and lives. Heroes and heroines. And they take the time the welcome us home.
Facebook takes down Antifa wildfire rumors days after they start
Facebook took down the posts Sept. 12, after they had already gone viral and caused headaches for law enforcement officials and 911 dispatchers.

Yes, back home with the change in weather. Had to go into work today briefly and a normally 25 minute drive turned into well over an hour due to smoke and fog. Spotted some guy on the side of a rural road suspiciously parked halfway into the lane of traffic with a road flare. Called it in after almost getting rear ended for stopping to check on him. Said he's out of gas but??? Hopefully I'm just being paranoid.

Sure, that quick of an investigation and determination. FB are forensic fire investigators. I am impressed.

BATF should be crying that the FBI is taking their work away.

The local community here of about 300 homes scattered over maybe 10 square miles has been organizing mobile fire/arsonist watches, patrolling the back roads from 10 pm to 6 am, since the local LEOs are otherwise occupied. I took a turn Friday night/Saturday morning. I did not go unarmed.

Ya had me until the very last three words... "reputable news outlets".
It would be really nice to find at least one of those these days...

Some eyeballs on the back roads around here might save some lives. We have CONFIRMED reports of people setting fires in our area. The Eugene fire dept just put one out on Friday. It's my home and my kids. I'll protect them any LEGAL way I see fit.

Maybe if someone were to set up a check point on a road...
Having a way to communicate to law enforcement / the fire department...
As well as having some fire fighting equipment....
Might be handy.
Also it would be wise to communicate with law enforcement if one were to stop a person starting a fire.
As in :
Describing you and what you are wearing / look like.
It ain't like law enforcement will show up magically knowing who is the good guy and who is the bad guy.
One other thing to think about is the legality of setting up a check point , and how folks will react to it.
As pointed out in post # 353 with the linked screen shots , some folks won't stop for a check point.
What you do then , may help , or may help you find your way in jail.
Please note that I am not against protecting your home , or even setting up a check point or patrol.
Just pointing out some things to consider.

Just picture Vic Frohmeyer from Christmas With The Kranks....
If it were me and I was going to my property, or my parents/families/close friend's property, simply communicating with these guys would be the thing to do? Showing some ID and giving a name/address of property owners would be something too. What's the matter with people these days? Those guys on the roads into houses abandoned by force of law are there for you! If you don't have biz up there you are one of two things, there to help, or there to cause trouble for residents. One way you get in to the property, the other? Stay out, you don't belong there.

My folks are not setting up checkpoints. We are simply driving the backroads at 30 mph with a cell phone, a strong light, and a fire extinguisher. We will call 911 if we see a fire or arson activity, and take video and/or pictures of suspicious car license numbers. We might follow a suspect vehicle, or even stop and ask what someone is doing. Not speaking for anyone else involved, but I, at least, was well and legally armed.
