A man was arrested on Saturday on charges of starting a forest fire in Colorado that has destroyed structures and forced hundreds to evacuate their homes in one of dozens of wildfires raging across the drought-hit U.S. southwest.
Jesper Joergensen, 52, was taken into custody last Saturday for the suspected arson that started the Springs Fire, according to Costilla County Sheriff’s Office Facebook page.
Joergensen is not a U.S. citizen and will be handed over to ICE once he has faced arson charges, said a Costilla County detention officer.
The officer could not immediately say what nationality Joergensen held.
The fire has scorched over 38,000 acres (15,378 hectares) between the towns of Fort Garland and La Veta in southern Colorado, forcing more mandatory evacuations of homes and ranches on Saturday in a mountainous area of public and private land.Jesper Joergensen, 52, was taken into custody last Saturday for the suspected arson that started the Springs Fire

He sounds Scandinavian....you know....one of those countries where the orange baby-man wants immigrants.
Looks like one of them took him up on his offer.
I believe that is a Danish name, but no matter. NO MORE of those Scandinavians including those untrustworthy Norwegians. Mostly rapist, bums, lazy and drug dealers. Uff da, yabetcha.
what was that talk about all that unused land some here say we have for immigrants
