The woman suspected of starting the Fawn Fire in Northern California was arrested Wednesday, the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection said.
After receiving treatment, Souverneva was interviewed by CalFire and law enforcement about the incident. Based on the information they gathered, officials came to believe she was responsible for starting the fire. Souverneva was arrested and booked at the Shasta County Jail. The fire scorched more than 8.5 square miles of heavy timber on steep, rugged terrain amid hot, dry and gusty conditions. The fire is just 5 percent contained.
Those fires include two big forest blazes growing in the heart of California's giant sequoia country on the western slope of the Sierra Nevada. Smoke from those fires raised air quality concerns for the southern end of the Central Valley and flowed over greater Los Angeles, darkening skies and causing mistaken reports of mountain fires.
The fear of catastrophic fire coming through that section of the national park has been greatly reduced because of the combination of the prescribed burns and the low intensity of the fire that moved into part of the forest, said Ed Christopher, deputy fire director for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

The climate waits for no man, don't delay or else it'll be too late!
People who start these fires should have to pay restitution, every damned penny.
