2017-01-04 - Palm trees regularly going up in flames along US 101 near coastal San Jose (California):
http://sfbay.ca/2017/01/04/chp-probes-highway-101-palm-tree-fires/

Quote: "Spokesmen from both agencies stressed that they don’t know if fires are being intentionally set and that they have not opened an official investigation, but that they are 'keeping an eye on' the area."

Note: Could be the palm trees are spontaneously igniting. Had lots of towns along the coast in California getting hit by rotten egg odors and hydrogen sulfide in the last few months, and there's surely some odorless methane blowing ashore too, and palm trees have rubbery adsorbent 'skin', so once they adsorb enough flammable gas(es) on their skin, they may burst into flame. Not much different from the incidents involving cardboard/clothing/paper that have burst into flame...

2017-01-08 - Deadly fire destroys mobile home at 3:01 AM in Lafayette (Louisiana), 1 killed:

http://www.cajunfirst.com/news/local-news/update-victim-killed-in-mobile-home-fire-identified/637347101

Quote: "The mobile home and the occupant’s vehicle sustained heavy fire damage."

Note: Vehicle igniting is probably what caused this fire and killed the owner. Since all vehicles are now randomly-igniting firebombs, parking a vehicle near your residence can easily get you killed nowadays, since by the time fire alarms go off inside the home, escape routes may already be engulfed in flames. Then you're trapped and you die. The wee hours are when the atmosphere cools and contracts, which will push any methane and/or hydrogen sulfide in the air above closer to the ground, making fires, explosions and animals and people sickening and/or dying more common during those hours...

2017-01-08 - Deadly fire destroys home shortly after 1 AM along Three Mile Pond in China (Maine), 1 killed:

http://www.wcsh6.com/news/local/plow-truck-driver-discovers-deadly-fire/383602309

Quote: "A local man is dead following a house fire early Sunday morning in China. The body of Randall Luck, 65, who lived alone at 13 Washington Boulevard, on Three Mile Pond, was found by firefighters outside his burning home, according to Steve McCausland, spokesman for the Maine Department of Public Safety."

Note: He made it outside so could be it was the smoke that killed him. That's always been possible, but now hydrogen sulfide is blowing around and adsorbing onto matter, like homes and cars and wood and trash and clothes, so the smoke from ANY fire may be contaminated now, and thus far more lethal than it ever has been in the past. That's why people have been toppling over into fire pits and dying - whatever they were burning in their pits had been contaminated. The best way to tell if something has been contaminated is to burn it and breathe some of the smoke. If you don't die then it was okay...
