Do we know if the Pacifica Fire (Irvine) was set by arson?

The fire in Irvine started around 1:30 p.m. on Saturday along the bike path / San Diego Creek area near the 405.

Costa Mesa PD just announced today that they arrested a 50-year-old Santa Ana man for arson after he allegedly started 11 separate brush fires along the Santa Ana River Trail near Moon Park later that same afternoon (around 4:30 p.m.).

I’d like to make sure the Pacific Fire in Irvine is fully investigated too. This could be the same guy the timing and locations are close enough that it’s worth checking.

Perhaps OCFireAuthority and Irvine PD can confirm if arson is being investigated for the Pacifica Fire?
