Two Sentenced in Corral Canyon Wildfire

Two of the five men accused of starting the 2007 Corral Fire in Malibu were sentenced to one year in jail plus probation. The Corral Fire destroyed 53 homes and burned about 5,000 acres. About 14,000 people had to be evacuated and six firefighters were hurt. Brian Anderson and William Coppock were sentenced Thursday. They will get credit for 200 days already spent in jail.

They also must apologize to victims and firefighters and pay restitution, which has yet to be determined but includes $7.7 million in firefighting costs.
