A Freelance Photographer Is Under Arrest, Accused Of Starting The Leona Valley Fire Himself
LOS ANGELES — A freelance videographer accused of setting a 5,000- acre Bouquet Canyon-Leona Valley fire last Sept. 3 that destroyed four homes and cost an estimated $2 million to extinguish is expected in court Monday.
Joshua Harville, 23, was booked for arson and held on $250,000 bail following his arrest yesterday afternoon, said Harry Drucker of the Sheriff's Headquarters Bureau.
The investigation is being conducted by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, the U.S. Forest Service and the California Department of Forestry, Drucker said.
The blaze, which took about three days to control, involved more than 1,200 firefighters, along with helicopter crews, U.S. Forest Service air tankers and two SuperScooper fixed-wing aircraft.
The blaze broke out near Spunky Canyon Road in Bouquet Canyon and spread to Leona Valley.
Two firefighters were treated for heat exhaustion during the suppression effort.
