Justin Halstenberg of Norco has been found guilty of igniting the devastating Line Fire, a blaze that raged across 44,000 acres and forced thousands to evacuate their homes in Southern California last September. According to prosecutors, Halstenberg made three deliberate arson attempts within just one hour, with the final spark unleashing the catastrophic wildfire. Convicted on nine charges—including aggravated arson and possession of flammable materials—Halstenberg now faces the grim prospect of life behind bars.
