( CNN ) -- A federal jury in Los Angeles on Friday found two men guilty of starting an illegal campfire that grew into a wildfire , destroying five homes and 17 other structures , according to the U.S. Attorney 's office . The Colby Fire , as it was called , scorched close to 2,000 acres of foothills in Los Angeles County near Glendora . The two men , Clifford Eugene Henry Jr. , 22 , and Steven Robert Aguirre , 21 , were convicted of one felony and three misdemeanors for unlawfully setting timber afire and being unable to control it , according to prosecutors . Embers from the campfire are believed to have ignited dry grass adjacent to the ring . Winds and drought conditions took it from there . Prosecutors said both men face a maximum of 6Â½ years in prison . Sentencing in the case is scheduled for August 4 . The trial for a third suspect , Jonathan Jarrell , is scheduled to begin Tuesday . CNN 's Janet DiGiacomo and Sonya Hamasaki contributed to this story .
