Cox said he believed a homeless man named Kyle Vess started the fire. You can hear his explanation on the body camera footage from sheriff’s deputies at the scene. “He was going up the service road and he sat right here in front of the engine somewhere, so I got out to kick it out while it was small before it got big, and that’s when he got up and charged,” said Cox.
