No lightning strikes the night this fire started, so had to be human caused. The only question is whether it was accidental ( cigarette thrown out a car window, spark from vehicle, utility line spark, etc) or arson. The pattern of fire spreading down ravines and strong winds from the north suggest to me that the fire started at the top of Green Mountain. Short of a cinder carried by the wind from I-70 or the asphalt plant or a helicopter passing overhead, arson seems likely. There is a disturbing trend of arson this year from the Beaver Creek Fire to several of the California wildfires and currently the huge wildfire in Gatlinburg Tennessee.
