CNN reported this morning that a $100,000 reward has been offered for information that would lead to the arrest and conviction of the person or people who started the Station Fire in southern California. Governor Schwarzenegger announced yesterday that the reward amount has been set at $100,000.
As of last night, the Station Fire continued to burn and has burned over 148,000 acres and has taken the life of two fire fighters. Fire officials hope to have the fire out by September 15, according to Southern California Public Radio.

What good is the reward? They wouldn't go after the people behind the fires if you lead them directly to the money, who controls multi-facets, of the building material industry. Instead it's always someone in an unidentified vehicle supposedly seen in the area, or a bogus tip about a group of campers leaving a camp fire smoldering. Bullshit, it's all about money and how many houses they can destroy - Crooks, liars and thieves.
