16-year-old might have set a dozen brush fires in the Inland Empire, prosecutors say Detectives say a 16-year-old boy may have set up to a dozen fires in the Inland Empire over the last month, including the large Oak Glen and Pendleton blazes. Police arrested the teenager at 4:39 p.m. Wednesday near the scene of a fire in the Crafton Hills area. Authorities had been alerted by witnesses, who said a teen was riding a bicycle away from the fire on Chapman Heights Road. He's being held on suspicion of setting that blaze, and officials said they are investigating whether he set the other fires, said San Bernardino County Dist. Atty. Mike Ramos. Ramos would not provide details about what officials believe links the boy to the other fires.
