Vigilant citizens stop a man trying to set a fire in the Woodland Hills neighborhood in Los Angeles (Credit: FOX Los Angeles)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A man possibly connected<\/a> to one of the wildfires engulfing California has been taken off the streets thanks to the help of some vigilant citizens who caught him trying to start a fire in their neighborhood. <\/strong><\/p>\n

KTLA reported<\/a> that on Thursday afternoon, around 4:30 p.m. local time, police responded to an incident involving an individual with a blowtorch attempting to set fire to multiple Christmas trees and garbage near the area of Arcos Drive and Galendo Street in the Woodland Hills area of Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

This came at roughly the same time as the Kenneth Fire, which erupted late Thursday afternoon in the San Fernando Valley and is now spreading through the West Hills.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The Kenneth Fire is the latest blaze to tear through Southern California. It has grown quickly to 960<\/a> acres and is also threatening homes in the Calabasas area.<\/p>\n

The brave locals did not wait for police to arrive to take care of business. They tackled the man, who was holding what appeared to be a \u2018flamethrower\u2019 and held him to the ground until authorities arrived on the scene.<\/p>\n

One neighbor, Renata Grinshpun, detailed what she saw to KTLA<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were sitting in the backyard and suddenly, we hear a car come to a screeching halt and the guy is running out saying, \u2018Stop! Drop what you\u2019re holding! Neighbors, he\u2019s trying to start a fire! Call 911!\u2019\u201d Renata Grinshpun said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe really banded together as a group,\u201d she added. \u201cA few gentlemen surrounded him and got him on his knees. \u201cThey got some zip ties, a rope and we were able to do a citizens\u2019 arrest.\u201d<\/p>\n

FOX LA obtained exclusive coverage early Friday morning showing the moment the neighbors sprung into action to stop this lunatic.<\/p>\n

NEW: @FOXLA<\/a> has exclusively obtained video of a man carrying a blow torch in Woodland Hills, CA Thursday not far from the Kenneth Fire. LAPD says the man is in custody but \u201ccan\u2019t confirm any connection to any fire by this suspect.\u201d #CaliforniaWildfires<\/a> #KennethFire<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/ULwxtnfsdj<\/a><\/p>\n

One witness told Fox LA<\/a> that the suspect was \u201cvery focused on moving forward.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was like, \u2018I can\u2019t stop. I can\u2019t stop. I\u2019m not putting this down. I\u2019m doing this,\u2019\u201d the witness explained<\/a> to the outlet.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd we\u2019re like, \u2018We can\u2019t be doing that right now,\u2019\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

A police source told <\/a> FOX 11 that the man may be linked to the Kenneth Fire, though how was not immediately clear at this time.<\/p>\n
