Three arrested after brush fire in BanningCalifornia
In Riverside County California three men were arrested after a fast moving brush fire in the San Jacinto Mountains burned 1100 acres and destroyed a home. Two firefighters were injured and the fire was contained by Sunday night. The men face potential misdemeanor or felony charges for firing guns in a closed fire area with possible firefighting-cost restitution. Investigators believe the fire was likely accidental and not arson.
