Man charged with starting one of the fires in Calif.
A 51 year old man, Forrest Gordon Clark, has been arrested for starting one of the five massive California fires tearing through the state. The man-made fire has burned 6,200 acres of land. He's expected in court today. How sick do you have to be to do something so vile?

He should and probably be sent to jail for a very long time!
He is being held at the Orange County Jail on Wednesday on suspicion of two counts of felony arson, a count of felony threat to terrorize and misdemeanor resisting arrest, the Cleveland National Forest said via Twitter.
He is being held on $1 million bail and expected in court on Today.
"The charges being leveled could carry a life sentence, said Susan Schroeder of the Orange County District Attorney's Office."

Death toll from Northern California fires jumps to 31; names of 10 victims released
In Santa Rosa, the hardest hit by the fires, officials said they were stunned by the scale of the destruction. An estimated 2,834 homes were destroyed in the city of Santa Rosa alone, along with about 400,000 square feet of commercial space, Santa Rosa Mayor Chris Coursey said in a news conference Thursday afternoon.
Flames left entire neighborhoods and commercial districts in ruins and even destroyed the city's newest fire station, on Fountaingrove Parkway.Sonoma County Sheriff Robert Giordano told reporters that another person was found dead in his county as search crews and cadaver dogs began sifting through debris for the first time Thursday.
