Summary

#079 - Throughout the '80s and '90s, California was ravaged by fires. Thousands of fires burned brush, buildings, homes, and sadly, innocent people. It seemed California’s environment was made to be burned. Until a clever fire investigator noticed a pattern. It wasn’t the climate... Oh no, much worse. A serial arsonist is torching the state.Support My WorkIf you love the show, the easiest way to show your support is by leaving us a positive rating with a review.
