The Rancho, which burned nearly five acres in Laguna Beach, prompted evacuations and caused power outages. A 13-year-old boy was arrested this week, accused of setting off illegal fireworks that sparked a wildfire in Laguna Beach, Calif., that burned nearly five acres and led to evacuations and power outages, the authorities said.

Homeowner Earl Decastro, 46, was nabbed and booked for involuntary manslaughter, though he has since posted his $25,000 bail.

A large illegal fireworks display, placed in the street by the homeowner, failed and began misfiring toward the home where the child was, police said.
