Fire started by target shooting

568 acres so far. Out by Parshall. Started by target practice at a shooting range.

Tracers again or...? Article is kind of lacking.

I'd be interested to find out if the fire was started by the act of target shooting, or if someone was smoking and dropped a butt without it being completely out...

Bummer ... going out there in a few weeks ... I hope the campground South of the river is spared.

Been a slow fire summer for us ... hope the trend continues!

Growing up in the desert where everything it dry tinder I find this hard to believe. Maybe if they were shooting gas cans with tracers. Normal shooting I don't think so.

Probably tracers or exploding targets

That sucks, hopefully they get it out quick

That's a nice range.. Hope the idiots didn't ruin it. Though i thought the byers range was east of parschall..

I've done an awful lot of "target shooting" and never started any fires.

Now, screwing around shooting tracers... I'm two for four. Odds like that are why I have chosen not to do it anymore unless it's raining, or there's good snowcover on the ground.
