Wow…..
Christopher Guest
Thanks a lot
a$$hole. You have no idea how much of a inconvenience you caused.
Sandra Ibrahim ohhh. they gave a name.
It says in parentheses (accidental) so how does that work ?
Same way a car accident would, no one intentionally rams cars in the road it’s accidental . But I’d hate to see his fines, fighting these fires are big bucks!
Yeah that makes sense, sucks to be him wow
Because he didn’t intend to start a fire, but it was still reckless.

Throw arsonists in the fire
It wasn’t arson.
Marissa Arlette Ochwatt
So sad with the harm he caused. Hope they throw the book at him. So many families loosing homes…
What homes?
Paul Davidson the tarps and cardboard boxes the homeless use along that route?
Thanks for making me late to work , Dick!!!! ??
Firefighter?
It says nothing in the article about him being a firefighter
I was just curious there’s a large percent of arson created by firefighters to to the fact that they are seasonal workers and when summer rolls around they want to get paid. They go on 24-hour shifts until the fires out meaning they get paid to sleep. At least that’s my understanding of the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. No fire no money. That’s why every summer there’s a big fire in Santa Clarita this year last year next year Etc. Fire season
Brian Durand it doesn’t say anything about a firefighter. It states he is a 20 year old who was at the paintball park. Don’t make something it’s not… smh
Roy Arciga
Reason why they insist on making sure that people know he is from Lancaster?
SCV has their own share of idiots.
Suspect’s hometown is usually identified regardless of which publication.
Someone didn’t think about possible consequences for his behavior. ?
Worked late into the night with fiber optic cables being destroyed by the fire

I have known him for at least 8 years. It was not brilliant thinking on his part by any means but he is a really good, well mannered kid who made a careless decision.
Children’s obsession with fire and firearms sometimes lasts longer than childhood.
We should he calling it the Zachary fire. If he started it its his fire. He should be associated with it. Maybe people would get it then and be more careful. Dont be like Zachary.
Nathasha Hong
Maybe he is a “good, well mannered kid” but he is definitely not a critical thinker. But that’s not to say he should think that he’ll never it into the White House.

Seems like an honest kid made a bad mistake and the way brush fires are in the Santa Clarita Valley if it don’t happen this year it’ll happen next year I hope he makes better choices in the future
