California fires

I have no more fucking knowledge than do you about this issue, but this is a "stand up" kid. I hope they treat him right.
A boy playing with matches started a fire in north Los Angeles County that consumed more than 38,000 acres (12,709 hectares) and destroyed 21 homes last week, authorities said Tuesday.

The boy, whose name and age were not released, was interviewed a day after the Buckweed Fire was sparked Oct. 21, said sheriff's Sgt. Diane Hecht.

"He admitted to playing with matches and accidentally starting the fire," said Hecht said in a statement.

The boy was released to his parents, and the case will be be presented to the district attorney's office, Hecht said.
