A Northern California man is facing arson charges after a fire destroyed several structures in Colusa County this week, authorities said.

Cal Fire, the state's fire agency, said Karl Kristofors was arrested after a burn pit fire spread on Thursday. The fire happened around 3:49 p.m. near the 200 block of Market Street in Stonyford, which is about a 55-mile drive northwest of Colusa.

Kristofors had been burning trash in a burn pit when the fire erupted, authorities said.

A mobile home and shed were destroyed, and another residence and shed were severely damaged by the fire, authorities said.
