BTW, they're serious about arson around here. Fortunately no one was killed during this year's wildfires. But the year isn't over.

A California state-court judge on Monday sentenced to death a man who was convicted of setting a massive wildfire that killed five people and damaged more than 1,000 homes in San Bernardino.

Rickie Lee Fowler, 31 years old, was found guilty in August by a San Bernardino jury of five counts of first-degree murder and two counts of arson for starting a 2003 fire that ripped through the city's Waterman Canyon area.

The fire burned more than 90,000 acres, damaged 1,003 homes and led to the deaths of five men, according to the indictment.

Someone was killed.

I believe there was one death.....homeless or migrant worker's charred body was found in one of the canyons.
