HE'S IDENTIFIED AS 34 YEAR-OLD NORCO RESIDENT JUSTIN HOLSTON BERG WHO WAS FACING 9 CHARGES, INCLUDING ARSON WITH DAMAGES AMOUNTING TO MORE THAN 7 MILLION DOLLARS ALONG WITH OTHER CHARGES RELATED TO A RUNNING SPRINGS HOME BURNING DOWN AND FOR ALLEGEDLY INJURING A FIREFIGHTER WHO SUFFERED A BROKEN ANKLE ADDITIONALLY ON OUR COMPLAINT. >> THERE ARE CHARGES OF 3 SEPARATE INCENDIARY DEVICES OFFICIALS SHOWING THIS MAP. >> SAYING HOSTON BERG ALLEGEDLY IGNITED 3 SEPARATE FIRES, ONE OF WHICH IS THE LINE FIRE. THE OTHER 2 ARE NOT RELATED TO THE BRIDGE OR AIRPORT FIRES THROUGH THEIR INVESTIGATION.
