Wildfires

 NBC News - Authorities say the suspect arrested this week in connection with a California wildfire is believed to have set off two other fires on the same day he allegedly sparked a blaze that would balloon into the Line Fire. It's also possible that the suspect, 34-year-old Justin Wayne Halstenberg, could be tied to other fires, San Bernardino County Sheriff Shannon Dicus said. Halstenberg faces nine felony charges. He could face more charges, San Bernardino County District Attorney Jason Anderson said. The Line Fire was 37,207 acres and 18% contained as of yesterday, according to Cal Fire. Elsewhere in Southern California, the Airport Fire has engulfed 23,410 acres and 5% contained, and the Bridge Fire was 51,167 acres and 0% contained.
