Authorities have made an arrest in connection with a wildfire that impacted Amador County last year. A man has been charged for the Tiger Fire, which burned 118 acres near Pioneer.
The fire forced evacuations in the area during the summer of 2025. This news coincides with regional preparations for the upcoming wildfire season.
The criminal charges highlight the legal consequences of wildfire ignition as communities across the Sierra foothills enhance their fire preparedness plans.
