Napa winery worker faces wildfire charges
A gardener at a Napa Valley winery is charged with starting the Pickett fire near Calistoga last August, which burned 6,800 acres and caused over $6 million in damages. Prosecutors allege he recklessly ignited the blaze by disposing of hot ashes in a burn pile, leading to approximately $65 million in agricultural losses primarily to wine grapes. An arraignment is scheduled for September 9.
