Pomona Teen Charged for 2,100 Acre Wildfire
Los Angeles County authorities recently charged a thirteen-year-old boy they believe is responsible for setting a 2,100 acre wildfire with arson. Prosecutors levelled two charges against the boy, whose name was not released – arson of a forest and recklessly starting a fire.
He is accused of starting a fire in the Los Angeles National Forest area near Azusa, on August 25, where it ran for over three miles. No homes were damaged in the blaze, though a large amount of vegetation and possibly wildlife were compromised. He has not been accused for involvement in the larger fire that month, which burned almost two hundred fifty square miles and destroyed almost a hundred homes.
