Two 13-year-old boys have been arrested after police say they intentionally started a fire that claimed the life of a California firefighter.
On Tuesday, at around 4:14 p.m., the Porterville Fire Department received a call about a massive fire that erupted at the Porterville Library, a spokesperson for the PFD tells PEOPLE.
Fire Captain Raymond Figueroa, 35, and Firefighter Patrick Jones, 25, initially responded to the scene, which was located adjacent to the fire department.

In early 2018, deputies from the Lake County Sheriff’s Office showed up outside the Clermont, Fla., home of married high school sweethearts Michael and Laurie Shaver. The officers wanted to speak to the devoted dad, after his oldest friend called, saying he hadn’t seen Michael in person or gotten a call from him in over two years — and that Shaver was only communicating via text and Facebook messages.

When Taco Bell heard the news, they quickly gifted him a year’s worth of free Taco Bell—and as much hot sauce as he could ever want to go with it.
