The Boles Fire was a wildfire that burned in Siskiyou County during mid-September 2014. On September 15, at 1:38 p.m. PDT, the Boles Fire ignited near Weed, California. Later on the same day, at 10:30 p.m. PDT, the Boles Fire was reported at 350 acres and 15% containment.[2] Over 100 structures were reported damaged or destroyed on that day. Later that day, the wildfire was reported at nearly 100% containment;[3] however, this report turned out to be erroneous. On September 16, the Boles Fire had burned 375 acres (152 ha) and was only 20% contained. It also destroyed 150 residences and forced the evacuation of 1,500 people in Weed and Siskiyou County.[4][5]
During the next couple of days, the Boles Fire increased to 479 acres (194 ha), before finally being fully contained on September 20.[1] The wildfire also caused 1 injury.[1] The Boles Fire destroyed a total of 150 residential structures and 8 nonresidential commercial properties, while damaging 4 single residences and 3 nonresidential commercial properties.[1] As of 2015[update], the damage caused by the Boles Fire is unknown.
The cause of the wildfire was reported as "under investigation" in 2015.[1] As of December 5, 2014, Ronald Beau Marshall was subject to a preliminary hearing after being charged with arson in the Boles Fire case.[6] In 2015, he was sentenced to three years in prison for recklessly starting the fire;[7] he was released from prison in 2016.
