 Authorities asked for the public’s help Wednesday to find those responsible for starting a small brush fire last month in Fallbrook. On July 12, at around 12:30 p.m., deputies from the


Fallbrook Sheriff’s Substation responded to reports of a brush fire in the 2300 block of Green Canyon Road, according to Sgt. Anthony Portillo of the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department


Bomb/Arson Unit. Firefighters quickly put out the fire, which burned about a quarter- acre and a large fence. Damage was estimated at around $30,000. Detectives reviewed surveillance video


that showed a white 1999 Toyota 4Runner off-roading in the area, the sergeant said. It also showed three juveniles setting off a firework just before the start of the fire, he added. The


three juvenile suspects were described as a boy wearing a white T- shirt and dark pants, and two boys wearing dark clothing. Anyone with information about the suspects or the fire was asked


to contact Portillo at [email protected]. _–City News Service_
