LA fire started by boy with matches
SANTA CLARITA, Calif. - A boy playing with matches started a fire in north Los Angeles County that consumed more than 38,000 acres and destroyed 21 homes last week, authorities said Tuesday.

The boy, whose name and age were not released, was interviewed a day after the Buckweed Fire was sparked Oct. 21, said sheriff's Sgt. Diane Hecht.

"He admitted to playing with matches and accidentally starting the fire," said Hecht said in a statement.

1. I don't know what to say
I wonder how old he is. How awful for him, his family, and all the people who lost their homes not to mention the burned acres and the wildlife that lived there. Sad.
