A suspect has been arrested for allegedly starting the Kenneth Fire, one of several blazes ravaging Los Angeles and surrounding areas. This wildfire alone has scorched over 960 acres, contributing to a catastrophic week of fires across California.
Devastating Toll
At least 10 people have died, 10,000 buildings have burned, and thousands of residents have been forced to evacuate as powerful winds fuel the flames. Roads have become gridlocked with fleeing motorists, some abandoning their vehicles to escape on foot.
Arrest Details
The LAPD detained a man after residents in San Fernando Valley’s West Hills neighborhood reportedly saw him on a bike, wielding a blowtorch and setting trash bins ablaze. The community restrained him until police arrived.
