Boy started California fires
The recent fires in California where terrible there is no doubt about this, causing havoc to over 500,000 people who had to leave their homes, 2,300 buildings were destroyed and 12 people died and still the fires rage, not as bad as before but never the less the danger is there.
Therefore it was a surprise to see that a boy has confessed to the police that he had accidentally started one of the fires that destroyed 38,000 acres of land and burned 63 buildings. The identity and age of the boy has been kept from the public until the authorities decide to charge him or not.
The alert is still active and there are still over 3,000 people who are unable to return to their homes, so until the fires are completely out the situation regarding the houses is unknown, which must be a worry for those concerned.
