Chatsworth Wildfire

I heard its 350 acres and was threatening homes but the FFS has a line around it. It's not contained but the lines will likely hold.

Wonder if it same guy my friends seen starting a fire near batsto few months ago
That is usually true that they like to watch what they have done. Also sometimes it is a fireman that sets these fires. I think the fires in bass river a few years ago that they got a confession from a volunteer fireman or something like that.
If it's a fireman usually the set them within their own response area so they can put it out. These seem to be a bit spread out but I still wouldn't rule that idea out. It also could be more then one person. Some of last years fires could also be linked as well.
Another fire at the base:
