It's possible that this footage is a hoax of some kind. I cannot confirm one way or the other at this point, but I think it's important to at least include this as a possible piece of evidence to support the claims that these fires are the result of arson. If it can be proven that this video is in some way a fake, please go right ahead and do that.
I saw this video on twitter yesterday WITHOUT the Chinese text overlayed in the middle. I'm also having little luck finding the liveleak description (quoted below) anywhere else on the web.
On the 9th, @FBI officials revealed that the analysis model of the US Department of Homeland Security showed that most of the >initial fires of the west coast wildfires spread along forest roads and caused investigations. Li Jianjun, a 57-year-old Chinese who >immigrated to the United States for 20 years, was raided and found a video from his laptop. GPS records of his car showed that he >went to the fire area many times in early August.

Thanks for looking into it... I'm sitting in my car right now, can't do a lot of fact checking from here.
