Well, that'll certainly make her change her ruling!

It's not for her (though that'd be convenient), it's a warning to other judges.

The fire has now officially been called "an accident".

Someone should check the bank account of the fire marshall. In betting there was a nice looking deposit.

Like the kid who “hung himself” on his college campus kind of accident?

Well, they say the investigation is ongoing, but they were awfully quick to call unintentional.

I'm ignorant of fire investigations, but those investigations usually seem to take a few days to conclude.

That house was "fully involved" in firefighter speak. Houses burning down that like are rare in 2025 America. Happened all the time when I was a 70s kid, had much elementary school instruction on the subject.

House may or not have been easily accessible for public services. Some houses like that are hard to get to, some are right off the main road. There are both sorts in my town.

Not hoping on the conspiracy bandwagon, just noting this seems unusual.

If this was arson, I'm putting it down to stochastic terrorism, not an act of the administration. They are riling up their foot soldiers without much, if any, official acts. OTOH, an official memorandum from the White House calling me a terrorist for being anti-fascist, well, that gets the job done, doesn't it?
