31 Musick                                                                       
Irvine, CA 92618                                                                

Ladies and Gentlemen:                                                           

As legal counsel for BlueFire Ethanol Fuels, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the    
"Company"), I am rendering this opinion in connection with the registration     
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of up to 10,000,000 shares of the 
Common Stock, $0.001 of the Company on Form S-8 (the "Registration Statement")  
which may be issued pursuant to the exercise of options granted under the       
Company's 2006 Incentive and Nonstatutory Stock Option Plan, as amended (the    
"Plan").                                                                        

I have conducted a review of Nevada law, examined all instruments, documents and
records which I deemed relevant and necessary for the basis of my opinion       
hereinafter expressed. In such examination, I have assumed the genuineness of   
all signatures and the authenticity of all documents submitted to me as         
originals and the conformity to the originals of all documents submitted to me  
as copies. I am admitted to practice only in the State of California and I      
express no opinion concerning any law other than the law of the State of        
California and the federal law of the United States.                            

Based on such examination, I am of the opinion that the 10,000,000 shares of    
Common Stock which may be issued under the Plan are duly authorized shares of   
the Company's Common Stock, and, when issued against receipt of the             
consideration therefor in accordance with the provisions of the Plan, will be   
validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. I hereby consent to the filing of 
this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement referred to above and  
the use of my name wherever it appears in said Registration Statement.          

Signed,                                                                         

/s/ Scott D. Olson
