A Salt Lake City man accused of setting four wildfires in Central Oregon has been charged with arson and reckless endangerment.
One of the four fires that Christopher Wilson allegedly ignited was the McKay Fire near La Pine, which grew to more than 1,200 acres.
Oregon State Police Captain Bill Fugate says it’s possible that Wilson lit other fires.
"We do know that at this point he started four fires—we have him as suspect of that," Fugate said. "He’s going to be facing charges in Deschutes and potentially Klamath counties for those fires."
