"I am appalled to learn one of our employees would violate the public's trust and attempt to tarnish the tireless work of the 12,000 women and men of CAL FIRE," Cal Fire Director Joe Tyler stated.
"Hernandez ignited fires while off duty between Aug. 14 and Sept. 15 in forest land near Geyserville, Healdsburg and Windsor, burning less than an acre combined."
Hernandez, who had a past conviction for gross vehicular manslaughter, spent months as an inmate firefighter after being granted participation in a rehabilitation program.
Officials confirmed Robert Hernandez was arrested on suspicion of arson to forest land after allegedly starting five brush fires.
