Australian police have suspected for some time that some of the terrible wildfires in the region were set deliberately. Today, they arrested a man and charged him with starting a fire near Churchill that claimed at least 21 lives. He is in protective custody and his identity is not being released for fear of public retribution. He is also being charged with posessing child pornography.
The official death count for the fires as a whole has not changed since last posting, but more than 1,800 homes have been destroyed and five thousand more people have fled from burned or fire-threatened regions.
