Cause

On September 7, 2006, Steven Butcher walked out of the Day Fire with burns to his face. Mr. Butcher was the one who notified the authorities there was a fire burning in the Los Padres National Forrest.

In 2009, Butcher was found guilty of starting the fire. I hid up there for days afterward watching the animals running scared around me."[1] Before sentencing, District Judge Valerie Baker Fairbank said that Butcher clearly loved nature."
