It was a little boy, not illegal immigrants or separatist Latinos who started at least one of the California wildfires.

A boy who was interviewed about the Buckweed fire, which burned nearly 60 square miles and destroyed 21 homes in Los Angeles County, “admitted to playing with matches and accidentally starting the fire,” the county sheriff said in a statement.

The boy was released to his parents and does not yet face any charges.

Don't forget that Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger vowed to “hunt down the people responsible.”
