“...reckless burning...”
That’s a new one to me.
In some states that’s the downgrade from intentional arson. They’re deliberately undercharging him.
I believe it means innocently leaving a campground with a little ember in the fire there, when Smoky the Bear told you to "make sure it's out, dead out."
Or adolescents setting up a campfire unsafely in a dry area.
To Government: Hello! This is an arsonist. Allegedly. Not a camper.
Should be in lock up until 1 of snow.
