Sonoma County Sheriff Sargent Spencer Crum told the Santa Rosa Press Democrat that a team of County Probation Officers patrolling the Maxwell Park area after a series of reports of ongoing fires in the region, observed Jesus Fabian Gonzalez, age 29, as he “walked out of the creek area and a plume of smoke behind him.”

Sheriff’s Deputy John Grohl responded to the Probation Officers call and confronted Gonzalez, who was wearing a trench coat. Gonzalez is well known as homeless to local law enforcement officials and he usual is seen living under a nearby bridge. He told the law enforcement detail that “he started the fire because he was cold.”

From the Press Democrat

“A suspected arsonist was arrested at Maxwell Farms Regional Park in Sonoma on Sunday afternoon after he was seen leaving a creek bed where a fire was burning, authorities said.

Three Sonoma County Probation Officers patrolling the area because of ongoing fires in the region noticed Jesus Fabian Gonzalez, 29, walking out of the creek area and a plume of smoke behind him, sheriff’s Sgt. Spencer Crum said.

Sheriff’s Deputy John Grohl was called to the scene and extinguished the fire, which was then completely doused by Sonoma Valley Fire Protection District personnel.

Gonzalez was wearing a trench coat and told officers he started the fire because he was cold, Crum said.

Gonzalez lives under a bridge nearby and is well-known to law enforcement, he said.

He was arrested for suspected felony arson and transported to the Sonoma County Jail for booking.

Gonzales was arrested, and then transported to the Sonoma County Jail where he was booked for suspected felony arson charges. Sonoma Valley Fire Protection District personnel put out the fire and district arson investigators went to the scene to gather evidence”.

The Sonoma Times published an article in August about  the rise of homeless in the Wine Country. Local Police Chiefs try to keep track of the homeless, but enforcement is restricted because social justice warriors have been successful in California courts challenging anti-homeless ordinances as the modern-day equivalent to post-slavery Jim Crow and Depression era anti-Okie laws that dispersed “undesirables” after dark.

CalFire reported the grim statistics Sunday evening that there are still 33 fires still burning, with the Wine Country suffering the worst damage. The communities have suffered at least 40 confirmed dead, 310 missing and 75,000 of the 102,000 that fled this weekendremain evacuated due to “Red Flag” fire conditions. The 15 largest Wine Country fires burned at least 217,566 acres in the 4-county Wine Country over the last 7 days.

But by concentrating 10,000 firefighters on the 6 major Wine Country fires, crews have achieved higher containment rates including: Sulfur Fire = 75 percent; Tubbs Fire = 60 percent contained; Atlas Fire = 56 percent; Reswood Fire = 35 percent; Nunns Fire = 25 percent; and Pocket Fire 25 = percent.

But the new Oakmont Fire that started on Saturday in very rugged terrain is only 15 percent contained. Authorities would not comment regarding the cause of the new fire.

Although Wine Country temperatures are expected to hit 90-degrees on Monday, a cold Pacific Front moving down the Northwest caused the winds to drop from 35 to 45-miles per hour on Saturday night, to 5 to 8-miles per hour gusts on Sunday. Temperatures will plunge to a high of 65 degrees on Thursday as a rainstorm moves in across the Wine Country. CalFire hopes to achieve containment of all major fires by next weekend.
