But he and his attorney, Paul Taylor, say he's not responsible for the larger wildfire that destroyed 76 homes and damaged nearly 100 others on South Carolina's Grand Strand in April. Torchi, who requested a trial, said earlier he's been unfairly blamed. Torchi says he called Horry County firefighters when his fire got out of control and firefighters thought they had completely put it out.
