""Serial arsonists pose a grave threat to our communities. They threaten property, livelihoods and put lives at risk," L.A. County Dist. Atty. Nathan Hochman said in a news release."
""Serial arson is not a property crime. It is a direct threat to civilian lives and to every firefighter we send in to stop it," Thomas Raymond, chief of the L.A. Fire Department's Arson Counter-Terrorism Section, said in a statement."
