From CNN.com:
A juvenile playing with matches started a Southern California wildfire that wound up scorching more than 38,000 acres and destroying 63 structures, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said Tuesday.
The Buckweed Fire began about 2 p.m. (5 p.m. ET) on October 21 in the Agua Dulce community.
Authorities immediately began an investigation, and a day later identified the male juvenile as a suspect, according to a report issued by the sheriff’s department.
