A man who set nine separate wildfires last year was sentenced this week to 13 years and four months in state prison.
48-year-old Allen Dinoyo, an unhoused man, was arrested last December and charged with arson and other crimes for the fires set last November in Jamul, Rancho San Diego, Dehesa, La Mesa, and San Diego.
Those fires included six separate ignitions within a 90-minute span on Nov. 20. The largest of the nine fires, the Millar Fire, blackened about 11 acres and prompted evacuations in Rancho San Diego, though no injuries or damaged structures were reported.
Dinoyo originally faced up to 39 years in state prison if he had been convicted of the initial charges filed against him.
