According to the New York Times, “officers found Mr. McGlover driving in his car after they were alerted to look out for a white Honda sedan that could be connected to the fires. In the vehicle, the authorities found possible fire accelerants.” McGlover is charged with 15 counts of arson and his bail is set at $1 million.

As of this morning’s latest InciWeb update, the Cranston fire is measuring approximately 13,139 acres and is now 82% contained.
