(KSL News) Ten people have been charged in a wildfire that burned nearly 51-thousand acres last summer.

Nine are juveniles.

The charges include reckless burning and burning in a closed season. Some of the kids are accused of obstruction of justice.

The Jarvis fire burned 79 square miles near St. George in June, costing around one million dollars to fight. The Bureau of Land Management says it wants to recover the cost.
