A 47-year-old woman was arrested after a small brush fire, called the Arrow Fire, burned about half an acre in the Angeles National Forest early Saturday during a Red Flag Warning, ABC7 Los Angeles reported1.
ABC7 said firefighters spotted Sheila Nartatez walking near the flames along Little Tujunga Canyon Road, and Los Angeles County Sheriff's deputies from the Crescenta Valley Station took her into custody1.
ABC7 said deputies determined during the investigation that she had started the fire intentionally, and that she is facing a charge of recklessly starting a fire on forest land1.
KTLA, citing the sheriff's department, also reported that a Los Angeles woman was arrested in connection with an intentional brush fire in the forest on Saturday; this desk could not open the full KTLA article2.
ABC7 said crews quickly put the fire out, that Nartatez is being held on $35,000 bail, and that the investigation continues, with the Sheriff's Arson and Explosives Detail seeking information1.
