Orange County:

The FBI late Wednesday said it was helping Orange County, California, sheriff and fire officials investigate the source of ‘some’ of the fires, according to spokesperson Laura Eimiller. Authorities earlier confirmed they had determined the Santiago fire (near Lake Forest and Irvine) was an arson, and that the FBI and local officials spent Wednesday examining the location where it originated as a crime scene. Eimiller, in a statement, said FBI Evidence Response Teams had been working with other federal, state and local authorities to identify the source of the Santiago fire.
