FELTON (CBS SF) A 34-year-old Kansas woman, who had been camping in the Santa Cruz Mountains, has been arrested in connection to two vegetation fires in the Pond View Drive area of Boulder Creek.
Cal Fire said Mary Ferino was placed under arrest on Thursday and booked on charges related to the fires. The blazes still remain under investigation and no further information was released.
The investigation and arrest came amid a busy early wildfire season for Cal Fire crews in the Santa Cruz Mountains, where the devastating CZU Lightning Complex fires last fall burned 86,509 acres, destroyed thousands of homes and claimed one life.
