Park Fire Trial Set for Thursday | Chico News
A wildfire that became California’s fourth-largest in history may have been sparked by Ronnie Dean Stout, who’s back in court Thursday for a trial readiness hearing. Witnesses say he deliberately pushed a burning car into dry grass in Upper Bidwell Park in July 2024 — but Stout claims it was an accident and he fled in fear. If convicted, this could be his third strike, carrying a possible 25-year-to-life sentence. The trial begins July 20 and is expected to last three days.
