Officials said that Jonathan Rinderknecht, 29, of Melbourne, Fla., had intentionally set a fire that rekindled a week later into a devastating blaze that killed 12 people.

In a federal complaint, prosecutors alleged that Mr. Rinderknecht, an Uber driver and a former resident of the Palisades, dropped off a passenger on New Year’s Eve and drove toward a popular trailhead known as Skull Rock.

He then parked, tried to call a former friend and walked up the trail, taking videos with an iPhone and listening on YouTube to a French rap video featuring a character setting things on fire. Then, the federal authorities alleged, he set a fire himself with an open flame and called 911 to report it but did not initially get through because he could not get cell service. As firefighters rushed to the scene, prosecutors said, he used his phone to take videos of the response.

The ensuing brush fire consumed eight acres before Los Angeles firefighters declared that it had been contained several hours later. On Jan. 7, however, a gathering windstorm reignited buried embers that had continued to smolder unbeknown to fire crews who had intermittently scoured the area for hot spots for two days.

“A single person’s recklessness caused one of the worst fires Los Angeles has ever seen,” Bill Essayli, the acting United States attorney in Los Angeles, said in a statement.

Mr. Rinderknecht is in custody and was charged with destruction of property by means of fire, Mr. Essayli said. On Wednesday, Mr. Rinderknecht made his first appearance in court in Orlando, Fla., but no decision was made about his detention, so he was set to return on Thursday.

especially? the vast majority of people in palisades are not black. that would be Baldwin Hills. He is a former resident of the area, so he fukked his own people up, which is sad.

and there is no mention of him creating the Altadena fire.....which is also vastly majority white with a slightly larger black population.

I wondered how they caught him but this makes sense. Man he TORCHED an entire piece of landmass being a dumbass. He bout to sit down and its well deserved. I'm not really broke up about what the rich lost, its the poor and middle that lost everything and will have their land bought up. The wildlife, the landscape, etc. Really, really stupid and reckless.

The reason to be "broken up" about what the rich lost is because it affects everyone. Housing increases across the entire metro because those people have to find somewhere to live until their home is rebuilt would could realistically take half a decade or more. That little b*stard affected the economic lives of the entire city.
