No, the arsonists are covering up for the DEW's. You have it backwards.  During the time this was shot there was a "Governor's Walkthrough" of the burned out areas. I was watching it live as I had friends in that area. There was a portion of the clip that caught my eye, and it disappeared in subsequent showings of the clip. It was there and gone too fast for it to be captured on WaybackMachine. What did I see? A completely burned to the ground home - EXCEPT for the plastic kid's slide in the side yard. The line of the "fire" was a straight line, as if someone had taken a laser to the area and just burned a select space. Lasers won't melt plastic, but they will burn dry brush and dry wood homes. So it was a startling image. I'm sure I'm not the only one who caught that, as I said, because that portion was quickly edited out.
