Five arson charges were filed against him, writes CNN.
The authorities believe that McGlover launched several fires in Riverside County, including Cranston, about 15 miles (24 km) southwest of Palm Springs, which spread to 1900 ha (4700 acres).

Currently, more than 700 firefighters are fighting him.

In addition to fire, residents near the surrounding areas are threatened by thick smoke.
The area around Idyllivild was hit by a large-scale forest fire in July 2013, which resulted in the burning of about 11 000 ha.
