He was arrested by CAL FIRE law enforcement after an investigation that included CAL FIRE, Montague Fire Department and the Mt. Shasta Fire Protection District, according to CAL FIRE Information Officer Suzi Brady.

She said fire suppression units from CAL FIRE and Montague Fire Department responded to the 33 fires to ensure they were completely out.

CAL FIRE says its law enforcement officers “work diligently in arson cases to investigate and seek prosecution of those suspected of intentionally starting fires. As fire danger remains extreme across California, arson is a major threat to both life and property. Residents should be vigilant in their preparedness and aware of suspicious persons when a fire does start. If you witness someone suspicious make note of the time, his or her physical description, as well as any vehicle description, including the license plate number. Always contact law enforcement, never approach a suspicious person. Anyone with information about arson is urged to contact the CAL FIRE Arson Hotline at 1-800-468-4408. Callers can remain anonymous.”

CAL FIRE reminds the public that because of drought in California, “conditions are much drier than normal and it doesn’t take much for a wildfire to start.”

****REMINDER**** Every fire has the ability to be catastrophic. The wildland fire management environment has profoundly changed. Growing numbers of communities, across the nation, are experiencing longer fire seasons; more frequent, bigger, and more severe, fires are a real threat. Be careful with all campfires and equipment.

"I am a firm believer in the people. If given the truth, they can be depended upon to meet any national crisis. The great point is to bring them the real facts, and beer." --Abraham Lincoln
