A Florida man was arrested after he caused a small brush fire in the Big Sur area. Michael Manneback was illegally camping in the Partington Ridge area, when he started a fire to stay warm. The fire then caught sections of dry needles and grass on fire. California State Parks maintenance workers, as well as a nearby resident, were able to suppress the spread of the fire until members of the Big Sur Volunteer Fire Brigade could arrive and put out the blaze. Manneback was booked into Monterey County Jail.
