Perhaps we could get some more specific info about the cause of fire before we hang the guy.
Accidental or intentional?
The key issue is the hardship for the locals as vehicles and houses were lost....those looking for a pound of flesh aren't too helpful for the locals
at this time.
Perhaps some relief funding could be started by someone so inclined and willing to carry out such a task. |
Good point. And even if it was intentional, I'd ask if he was in a sound state of mind. There are just so many crazy people wandering about these
days. |
Seems like the kid is not in a good state of mind according to the following post:

Very sad indeed.

And BTW Alien in Spanish would be something like an extraterrestrial, the word extranjero is refering to a foreigner.

I can not echo your sentiments enough. I was stunned by both the community and it's setting. That is an area I have looked forward to another visit in
the future and hope they can recover.....

I am glad I could visit twice in the past several years....first time when DT Bushpilot and I rode in a few years ago..and last time this January
when I delivered a sharpening stone for the fellow who makes palm furniture (thanks Cisco).
Scroll down on this link to see La Purisma and Los Comondus (page 6 and 7 of ride report):
http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=666961&page=6
some samples....
And I will go back again next time down....it is a magical place with some elements of mystery for me

The arsonist should be locked up in that little jail there and let out only to assist residents in their recovery.

it says that the fire lasted 12hours
that the people tried to put it out but couldn't
terrible loss of houses -cars - agriculture - cattle
main problem is lack of cell phone service to call for help
and very high winds and something else that I didn't quite catch?
the elec company is working nonstop to recover power
they show a womans house that burned to the ground
a doc says that some people needed oxygen
230 people evacuated
40+ houses damaged
5 vehicles total loss
10 people hurt by the smoke
160 hectars burned and no one knows how it happened yet

Bob,
Where did you get that info? As well (for others, not just Bob), where does the "arson" fit into the tragic fire?
