  CASTLE ROCK, Colo. (AP) - A 38-year-old
  forestry technician was charged with starting the
  fire that scorched more than 100,000 acres in
  the Pike National Forest.

  Terry Barton was charged with setting fire to
  timber in the national forest, damaging federal
  property in excess of $100,000 and making false
  statements to investigators, said Bill Leoni of the
  U.S. Attorney's Office.

  She admitted to starting a campfire within a
  designated campfire ring while patrolling the
  forest to enforce a fire ban, Leoni said.

Oh brudder........
