UPDATE, 11:48 a.m.: The Arcata Fire District just checked in with the Outpost to clarify something. They’re not calling the case “arson,” they say. They’re characterizing the fire as “human-caused,” but that’s as far as they’re willing to go.

Apologies for the error in the original headline, which has been updated.
