A wildfire that tripled in size to become California's largest of the year was started by a man who was seen pushing a burning car into a gully even as blazes scorch the Pacific Northwest, authorities said in announcing an arrest.

The man then calmly left the area in Bidwell Park, blending in with other people and fleeing the scene as the rapidly spreading flames caused the Park Fire, Butte County prosecutor Mike Ramsey said.

A 42-year-old man from Chico was arrested early Thursday and held without bail pending a Monday arraignment, officials said.

    The wrath of the lord will punish the wicked. Repent and ask forgiveness it’s the only way.
