A California wildfire which caused 2,000 people to flee and destroyed at least two homes has resulted in the arrest of Jonathan Carl Jarrell, 23, Steven Aguirre, 21, and Clifford Henry, 22. They are now facing charges of "unlawfully causing a fire on a structure or federal land."

A bail of $500,000 has been set.

The three men started the fire which ended up spreading across the Los Angeles basin all the way to the coast.

It is believed that the three hiked into the mountains after sparking the fire and camped there overnight. They were detained near Colby Trail, which is where the fire is thought to have been started.

According to The Advertiser, only one resident suffered minor burns. Because of the preparation of the Los Angeles County Fire Department, hundreds of homes were saved during the fire.

USA Today reported that this is an extravagant reminder of the dangers faced in California as they come off of the driest year for the state.

Just last Friday, the governor of California, Jerry Brown, declared an emergency drought. He has asked residents to greatly reduce water usage and start conserving water. Residents have not been mandated to ration water, but some areas of California has already started rationing on their own judgement.

Governor Brown believes this will be a long lasting effort to save water.
