“As recent as last week, I believe, we had a similar incident where a man lit some bush fire in the Tropical Park area in Hattieville and we have seen that the was charged for arson. Of course if the fire investigation deems that that person is at fault for causing this fire, we are expecting charges to be levied against that person also.”
