Update on the biggest fire in recorded Colorado history: http://www.denverpost.com/Stories/0,1413,36%257E53%257E1032869,00.html?search=filter
"Terry Lynn Barton will serve five to 10 years in federal prison for starting the largest wildfire in Colorado history if a plea agreement is approved today... "The former U.S. Forest Service employee faced 17 to 65 years in federal prison and a $750,000 fine after prosecutors said she admitted setting the 138,000-acre Hayman fire outside of Lake George, in the Pike National Forest south of Denver, on June 8... "Barton told federal investigators June 15 that she accidentally started the fire while burning a letter from her estranged husband in a fire ring. She tried to put it out but was unable to, she said, because of tinder-dry forest conditions caused by the drought." I see that Sydney is in even worse straits (if the BBC is correct).
