Types of Arson Charges in California

Firefighter Running Through FireThere are five different levels of arson, four of which are linked to felony charges. If you are convicted of a felony level arson charge, you could face up to 25 years in jail, as well as probation and other penalties. Beyond the possible imprisonment and fines, an arrest can remain on your record, showing up in background checks whenever you apply for a job, request a loan, register for school, or try to find a place to live.

  • Causing fire damage as a result of careless behavior
