The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) has arrested a suspect believed to be responsible for starting the Kenneth Fire, a wildfire that erupted on Thursday afternoon in West Hills, California. The suspect, reportedly a homeless man in his 30s, was detained in Woodland Hills by concerned citizens before being taken into custody by the LAPD.
