A Cal Fire firefighter was arrested on Friday morning for allegedly starting five separate wildfires in California over the past six weeks. The suspect, a fire apparatus engineer, was apprehended by Cal Fire Law Enforcement officers at a fire station in Mendocino County.
The firefighter, identified as a 38-year-old male, is accused of intentionally setting fires in Sonoma County while off duty between August 15 and September 14. Fortunately, quick responses from residents and fire suppression teams limited the damages to just one acre of land.
