Mother nature wins gunfight with 1,000 acre fire
Authorities tell KEPR gun-fire sparked the thousand acre blaze near Jump Off Joe last Friday night.
Firefighters battled the flames in the dark - trying to keep strong winds from carrying it towards nearby power lines, the highway and homes.
Their investigation of the charred area revealed spent rounds - and what they call over-whelming evidence to pin this on "yahoos shooting off their weapons where they shouldn't have been".
