Otay Mountain Fire

This fire in California is growing. Coincidentally, this is where 500 Marines plus around 1,000 other troops were deployed to in support of Trump's insane troop deployment to the Southern border. I haven't heard anything else, except that the fire started on Thursday, and that the troops were deployed on Thursday. I don't know anything else, but I sure would like to know if Trump caused the fire. Maybe he owes us some money.

This is nothing against the military, who have to do what they have to do. But, I think it should be investigated. Maybe those troops would be better used to help with this fire in some way?

I have a rental house in Otay Mesa. Not close at this time but winds are strong.
