Tennessee Wildfires: Two Juveniles Charged With Arson

The wildfires that roared in Tennessee last week, leaving 14 people dead and 150 injured, may not have been accidental. Two juveniles have been charged with aggravated arson, authorities said yesterday evening. There hasn’t been much information released, since the suspects are juveniles, but Tennessee AG Jimmy Dunn said they might be tried as adults. The fires devastated a national park, two tourist towns, one of the country’s most popular natural attractions, and more than 1,750 buildings. Many people lost loved ones and their homes, and want to see justice served.
