He started the fire in California in 2014.
A California man who deliberately started a wildfire that torched 100,000 acres of forest and destroyed a dozen homes in order to take a selfie video has been jailed.
Wayne Allen Huntsman was sentenced to 20 years in jail and fined $60million on Friday for starting the King Fire in 2014, one of California’s worst fires that year.
Huntsman had initially denied starting the blaze, but on Friday changed his plea to guilty, sobbing as he told the court: ‘I plead guilty because I did it.’
