"The Calaveras Sheriff’s Office this morning posted the arrest of a Valley Springs man along with a list of several fire-related charges.

The arrest was near where the Gann Fire was first reported to have ignited, which has burned approximately 9,363 acres of vegetation. It has forced the evacuation of 1,473 residents while placing an additional 1,400 under evacuation warnings, according to the governor’s office.

65-year-old Hervert Wayne Smith was arrested for three offenses. Smith was booked into Calaveras County Jail on charges that include a felony for causing a fire of a structure/forest land and two misdemeanors for operating machinery without clearance and allowing fire to escape/spread.
