Authorities are searching for a person of interest in a wildfire that burned 300 acres of Forest Service land southeast of Kenosha Pass in Park County.
The U.S. Forest Service says investigators have determined the blaze was caused by recreational shooting and want to speak with a man seen in the area around when the fire began. He was in a silver, extended cab Chevrolet pickup truck with tinted rear windows and a brush guard.
The fire began March 17 on Pike National Forest land in the Lost Park area. It burned about 308 acres before being fully contained on Friday.
No arrests have been made in the case, which remains under investigation.

Law Enforcement Seeks Information Related to South Park District #56Fire https://www.facebook.com/PSICC...osts/658661154322230 …
1:05 PM - 27 Mar 2017
Anyone with information on the case is asked to call U.S Forest Service Law Enforcement at 303-275-5610, the Park County Sheriff’s Office at 719-836-2494 or any other local law enforcement agency.
“The South Park Ranger District does not have a designated shooting range,” the Forest Service said in a news release. “In general, recreational shooting is allowed on most National Forest System lands. However, discharging a firearm is always prohibited within 150 yards of a residence, building, campsite (or) developed recreation site.”
Those convicted of starting a wildfire can face fines and imprisonment — or both — and be held responsible for substantial fire suppression costs.

not even April and we got our first warning

last year I think the first one was in June

I think we will be late this year up in Wickenburg, after a very wet winter. 3.5" of rain since December 1st, which is an unusually wet winter for us. Our local fire chief calls "no outside burning" usually about April 1st. Could be later this year.
