Suspect Arrested for 34-Acre Little Mountain Fire in San Bernardino

Authorities detained a man on felony charges after a brushfire erupted in San Bernardino, halting forward progress within hours.

A brushfire broke out Wednesday afternoon in San Bernardino near Little Mountain Drive and West Edgehill Road, burning 34 acres before firefighters contained it within two hours.
San Bernardino police arrested a man at the scene on suspicion of reckless burning and another felony charge, though his identity has not been disclosed.
No injuries or property damage were reported, and fire crews successfully stopped the fire's forward progress by 3:30 p.m.
The fire occurred during a red flag warning, with strong winds and low humidity creating high fire risk conditions throughout Southern California.
This arrest follows a series of recent arson-related incidents in the Los Angeles area, where devastating wildfires have destroyed over 10,000 structures and claimed at least 25 lives.
