BACKGROUND David Fowler, a fire investigator with the City of Sacramento, responded to a call to investigate a fire at a local high school. He examined the boys’ bathroom near the administrators’ office and observed a scorched wall and the outline of a paper towel dispenser. Outside the bathroom, he saw a partially melted paper towel dispenser. Fowler viewed the surveillance video and saw the minor, L.I., go into the bathroom three times shortly before the fire. When Fowler interviewed the minor, he eventually admitted he had lit the paper towels hanging from the dispenser on fire. He said he did not know why he had lit the fire, he was not angry with any teachers or the school, and he did not want to hurt anyone.

The juvenile court found the minor eligible, but not suitable, for deferred entry of judgment. Following a contested hearing, the juvenile court sustained the arson allegation of the petition. The juvenile court adjudged the minor a ward of the court and ordered him committed to the care and custody of his parents under supervision of the probation office. The juvenile court also ordered the minor to serve 32 hours of community service, with credit for 20 hours completed. Among the additional terms and conditions of probation, the minor was ordered to participate in a drug and alcohol assessment and fire setter prevention counseling. The juvenile court retained jurisdiction on the issue of direct victim restitution. DISCUSSION We appointed counsel to represent the minor on appeal. Counsel filed an opening brief setting forth the facts of the case and, pursuant to Wende, supra, 25 Cal.3d 436, requesting the court to review the record and determine whether there are any arguable issues on appeal. The minor was advised by counsel of the right to file a supplemental brief within 30 days of the date of filing of the opening brief. We have undertaken an
