A man is pleading guilty to setting multiple fires in a Shasta Co Natioanl forest. Forty-one-year-old Eric Smith pled guilty to four counts of setting fire to federal land Monday after officials said he ignited eleven fires in the Shasta-Trinity National Forest in 2019 and 2020. The U-S Forest Service says most of the fires were put out before growing more than an acre, but one blaze in July 2020 forced part of Interstate Five to shut down. Smith is facing up to twenty years in prison and a one-million-dollar fine.
