I sure hope we don't get any more this year. There's already been twice as many small fires as usual.

Official: 19 firefighters dead in Arizona
http://www.cnn.com/2013/06/30/us/arizona-missing-firefighters/index.html

(CNN) - Nineteen firefighters were killed Sunday battling a blaze in Arizona, the state forestry division said.

The vast majority were from Prescott, said Wade Ward with the Prescott Fire Department.

State forestry official Art Morrison said the firefighters were members of a "hotshot" crew, tasked with digging a fire line and creating an escape route.

"In normal circumstances, when you're digging fire line, you make sure you have a good escape route, and you have a safety zone set up," Morrison said. "Evidently, their safety zone wasn't big enough, and the fire just overtook them."

Arizona has been in 110+ degree heat. It's awful easy to make mistakes when it's that hot and you have to work out in it.

Two Colorado Springs television stations were reporting Wednesday night that the Black Forest fire chief has said that this summer's deadly fire was intentionally set.

KRDO-TV, Channel 13 quoted Fire Chief Bob Harvey as saying "yes, it was human caused and appears intentional." Channel 11 also reported that officials now say they believe the fire was intentionally set.

Contacted by The Post late Wednesday, fire officials said the chief was in a meeting and unavailable to comment.

The fire started on June 11 and burned for more than one week, killing two people and destroying more than 500 homes.

The fire is considered to be the most destructive fire in Colorado history. causing more than $85 million in damage.

Investigators had previously said that lightning had been ruled out as a cause of the fire.
