Arsonists,STOP BURNING THINGS in LA & Hollywood! Arson,Firebug vs Firefighters Police,families,cars

"Turn yourself in whoever you are. Stop it, stop it. We will not tolerate this in West Hollywood, in Los Angeles or anywhere in our neighborhoods," Duran said.

A rash of arson fires in the dark of night set Los Angeles on edge over New Year's Eve, and authorities deployed hundreds of extra firefighters, patrol cars, undercover officers and helicopters to stop the attacks.

On Saturday night, firefighters rushed to multiple fires, quickly extinguishing a vehicle fire in a Hollywood carport and responding to another in the massive parking structure at Hollywood Boulevard and Highland Avenue. Those blazes followed at least 38 other suspicious fires between Thursday night and Saturday morning, making it the worst wave of arson since the 1992 riots.

"Whoever is doing this is really messing with people's lives," said Los Angeles Fire Capt. Jamie Moore.

Authorities were interviewing witnesses and looking for any video footage that may have captured the person, or people, responsible for the spate of crimes. Investigators from four agencies met for a strategy session, while Los Angeles officials summoned investigators from the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa praised the coordination of the agencies, saying they're "working around the clock to investigate these crimes and they're pursuing every single lead."
We will "be preparing for what may be coming tonight," said Los Angeles County fire Battalion Chief Tom Sullivan.
Fire officials couldn't say whether the rash of fires was the work of a copycat. There was a series of other arson fires early Thursday, also in Hollywood. Two people have been arrested and remain in custody for those blazes, officials said.
One of the homes was in Laurel Canyon, where Morrison and his girlfriend once lived, neighbors said. The winding road was the inspiration for the Doors' hit "Love Street," and the house was listed for nearly $1.2 million earlier this year, according to real estate website Zillow.com.
Sandy Gendel, who owns a nearby restaurant, said he heard explosions from what he later determined were likely car tires. He saw flames 30 feet high coming from the deck of the former Morrison house and a gutted Mazda Miata.
"It was just like a towering inferno," Gendel said.


LOS ANGELES—An arsonist swept through the Hollywood area under the cover of dark early Friday, torching vehicles whose flames ignited nearby houses, including one once occupied by Doors frontman Jim Morrison.
The four-hour onslaught started shortly after midnight and sent firefighters scrambling to douse fires in 21 locations in Hollywood and the neighboring city of West Hollywood. In nearly every case, the fire started in a parked car.
Another car fire was reported Friday night in an underground garage in Hollywood that fire officials said may be linked to the earlier fires. It was reported at about 7 p.m. beneath the L.A. Fitness health club.
"We believe that it's a good possibility that the individuals responsible for the fires this morning are responsible for the fire that occurred tonight," Los Angeles Fire Capt. Jaime Moore told the Los Angeles Times. It involved only one car and no injuries were reported.
Authorities ruled out any possible link to terrorism while bracing for another round of fires and continuing the search for a suspect.
"We are hoping for the best but anticipating and preparing for the worst," Los Angeles City Fire Chief Brian Cummings said.
Los Angeles officials urged continued public vigilance Friday and offered at least $35,000 in rewards for information leading to the conviction of an arsonist or arsonists.

Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives is adding another $10,000 to the reward.
The city council is drafting a motion to add another $25,000 to that sum, but councilman Tom LaBonge urges citizens to come forward with any information they have immediately.
Dozens of people were rousted from their homes, power was disrupted in several neighborhoods and Los Angeles police were put on alert in the Hollywood area. One city firefighter was treated and released from a hospital after a fall from a ladder while battling one blaze. No other injuries were reported.
All of the fires on Friday were in a 2-square mile area and most were in densely populated residential neighborhoods where residents would likely be asleep.
"This is the most dense part of Los Angeles and West Hollywood. We have 20,000 people per square mile living in this area. One fire out of control could cost dozens of lives," said John Duran, mayor of West Hollywood where four of the fires were set.

[heckler171]

@Love4Yuna a monger is when you promote things that are not pleasant.

[Love4Yuna]

@heckler171 i will... what is a mongering man?

[heckler171]

@Love4Yuna and i'm not fear mongering man, the facts are being displayed all over the place to one who takes the time to look and analysis them. if u get a chance study the fall of rome and then look at america.

[heckler171]

@Love4Yuna i read that in the near future america on the east and west coast would flood so i put much thought into either leaving the country or moving toward the interior, im on the east coast, i would advise u 2 do some studying man. too much is going on for you to be in the dark. the worldly events, the weather, the craziness that ppl r displaying are not correlating coincidentally. people are becoming more & more savage each day so i recommend you find people who you really can count on.
