Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
Sheriff Maketa and Black Forest Fire Chief Harvey
Can someone please fill in the holes for me?

Maketa is good guy, so I know there's something more to the story here. Who is Harvey trying to scapegoat?
I think he just wants attention.
I assume Maketa is trying to do one of the following:
A) Keep it hush hush while they search for the person that did it.
B) Prevent people from calling him daily asking why they haven't found someone to blame yet.
C) All of the above
Stupid people with petroleum products for roofing. I don't think I could live in a forest with an ashphalt roof. Some insurance companies won't even write a policy if you have a cedar roof. You can build extremely fire resistant houses if you want to. Reminds me of the folks that don't wear seatbelts...and all the news from mainstream media is an absolute joke. It sometimes shocks the conscience.
stucco & tile
If they haven't figured it out by now they never will.
Arnt they still looking for point of orgin for Waldo Canyon?
I agree with Sheriff Maketa- don't make any statements or inferences until you have compiled the evidence and determined a root cause. Logic would dictate that you do not discuss an active investigation with these kinds of "conclusions" until all the facts are in. But as we know, some people in high up positions don't use logic when egos get involved.

Yeah.. everyone that lives there is clearly an idiotOriginally Posted by BushMasterBoy
... I mean where do they get off not having an extra couple thousand bucks each to get more fire resistant roofing in place before this happened?!
The nerve of some people..
Living in the woods is only going to get more and more expensive. Insurance requirements are going to get real strict on homes in high burn areas. Not to mention, the rate will either be high or you'll see a high deductible or both. Just nature of the beast.
Regardless of asphalt, or stucco/tile or even entirely corrugated metal siding/roof, there's no way I'd choose to live surrounded by forests in a climate as dry as Colorado - period.
