TL:DR The Sheriff says deputies only helped the property owner make piles of the belongings but did not ignite the fires. He knows who did but will not say for their safety.

Wait so someone 100% DID ignite piles of other people's belongings on fire, and then rather than pursuing legal action against that person - the sherriff is protecting their identity? Why - because the victims were trespassing?

Either he's lying about the fact that the deputies didn't burn it, or he's protecting a literal arsonist

Whoever did it the sheriff believes was legally allowed to. My guess is the landowner set the fires.

If I had to surmise further, ole Jimmy-boy suggested the landowner do it.

"I can't legally burn the piles, but I won't stop you from doing so Mr landowner"
