Man, 34, suspected of starting 33,000-acre Line Fire in custody

KTLA

Officials with the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department say that Justin Wayne Halstenberg, a resident of Norco, is suspected of starting the fire on Sept. 5 in the area of Baseline Road and Alpin Street in Highland.

Firefighters have struggled to get the upper hand on the now 32,905-acre wildfire, which is only 14% contained as of the latest update Tuesday evening.

The blaze has displaced thousands of residents forced to evacuate due to encroaching flames, as well as prompted Gov. Gavin Newsom to declare a state of emergency and deploy the National Guard to assist in evacuations.
