Juan Sierra, 33, was arrested after witnesses reported seeing him attempting to start a fire in an area already affected by the Kenneth fire.
The blaze, exacerbated by Santa Ana winds, has consumed nearly 1,000 acres and is currently about 35% contained, threatening nearby homes.
Authorities have not ruled out arson as a potential cause of the Kenneth fire, and Sierra has not been charged with igniting the blaze.
The investigation into the Kenneth fire has been handed over to the Ventura County Sheriff's Office due to its origin point being in Ventura County.
