Deputies found human skeletal remains in a wildfire-evacuated area, later identified as human, with investigations ongoing into the death—believed unrelated to the fire.
While the Line Fire threatens 36,000 structures and has burned 40,000 acres, the identity of the skeletal remains remains to be determined by the coroner.
The accused arsonist allegedly attempted to ignite the Line Fire multiple times in an hour, leading to charges including aggravated arson and arson of forest land.
As of September 16, the Line Fire is 42% contained, with minor structural damage and injuries amongst firefighters reported as they battle the blaze.
