SEVIER COUNTY, Tenn., Dec. 7 (UPI) -- Two juveniles have been charged with starting the historic wildfires that killed more than a dozen people in Tennessee this month, authorities said Wednesday.

Investigators said the teenagers were arrested and charged with aggravated arson. Neither their names, ages or genders were disclosed, though.

The fires were Tennessee's worst in decades and destroyed nearly 2,000 homes and other structures. At least 14 people died and 150 were hurt as the result of the fires in Sevier County, the center of which is the resort town of Gatlinburg.

Minors, so we won't know their name or faces, at least, until a judge says otherwise. What a tragedy. They really should be hung.

I agree, but you know that won't happen.  Delicate little snowflakes they are.

Well, this is Tennessee.  We don't tend to be quite so forgiving of responsibility for things like this as some other places are.
