Gavin Coates Munson, 19, is believed to have started both fires responsible for the destruction of 13 homes in Montana and two other teenagers were present.
Pushed by wind gusts of up to 50 miles per hour, the Gibson Flats Fire ultimately burned close to 85 acres, destroying 13 homes, 16 outbuildings, and an unknown number of vehicles.
Three men are facing criminal charges for allegedly causing the Gibson Flats Fire that forced evacuations, destroyed homes and dozens of other structures just outside of Great Falls last week.
