It's FAKE NEWS
"Rumors about the fires that have ravaged northern California’s wine region are spreading on the internet like, well, wildfire.
Several stories claiming that an immigrant living in the country without legal permission was responsible for starting them have been flagged by Facebook users as potentially fake.
The stories — such as one that ran on a website called Illegal Alien Crime Report with the
headline, “ILLEGAL ALIEN CHARGED WITH CALIFORNIA WILDFIRE THAT KILLED 40 PEOPLE” — cite an actual arrest, but it wasn’t related to the fires.
Jesus Fabian Gonzalez was
arrested for setting a small fire near the bridge where he had been living in Sonoma County on Oct. 15, a week after the major fires
began. He is charged with one felony count of arson, Sgt. Spencer Crum told FactCheck.org.
“He was charged with arson, but not for all the fires that have caused devastation over the last 10 days,” Crum said.
It was a small fire that was put out within minutes by the local fire department, he said."
