Forest Service worker faces questions over 120000 acre wildfire
Denver AP. Prosecutors question US Forest Service worker Terry Barton after she revised her account of starting a 120000 acre wildfire. Barton initially said she smelled smoke and could not contain it, then said she burned a letter from her estranged husband in a campfire ring and it ignited the blaze. Federal officials doubt the accident claim, noting evidence of willful setting and more than two sheets burned. The arrest affidavit accuses Barton of willfully setting timber, underbrush, and inflammable material.
