Arson Investigators from the Kern County Fire Department arrived on scene and were advised, from eyewitness accounts, about a person of interest, said Sean Collins, Public Information Officer for the Kern County Fire Department. Further investigation resulted in the arrest of the juvenile, he said. “It has subsequently been identified that this person is also responsible for another fire in the same area in June of 2008,” Collins said.
The July 10 fire threatened several structures, however, was contained at 24 acres without any damage, according to Collins.
