... It ISN'T arson. The Great White North has had a dirge of snowfall this winter and not nearly enough rain. Insufficient moisture in a big, heavily forested area is a guarantee of bush fires ... it happens in Siberia, California, Northern Europe and Australia on a regular basis, and while arson is always a possibility in ANY fire, it isn't required under tinder-dry conditions.
