Man Arrested, Accused of Starting Massive Line Fire in San Bernardino Mountains

Accused arsonist could face life in prison if convicted

The fire burned more than 9,500 acres and caused millions of dollars in damage

A man has been arrested and charged with arson in connection with the massive Line fire that burned more than 9,500 acres in the San Bernardino Mountains last week. The fire, which started on July 10th, caused millions of dollars in damage and forced thousands of people to evacuate their homes.

The suspect, 35-year-old Jesus Guzman of San Bernardino, was arrested on Friday. He is being held without bail and is scheduled to appear in court on Monday.

If convicted, Guzman could face life in prison. Arson is a serious crime that can have devastating consequences. The Line fire is just one example of the damage that arson can cause.

According to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (Cal Fire), the Line fire was caused by human activity. However, the exact cause of the fire is still under investigation.

The Line fire is one of several large fires that have burned in California this year. The state is currently experiencing a severe drought, which has made it more difficult to contain fires.

Firefighters have been working around the clock to contain the Line fire. The fire is now 100% contained, but crews will remain on scene for several days to monitor the fire and mop up any remaining hotspots.

The Line fire is a reminder of the importance of fire safety. Please be careful when you are outdoors, and always follow the rules and regulations regarding open burning.
