Hewlett Fire: Feds Say Colorado Wildfire Started On Camp Stove

It was started by an alcohol stove apparently. I love my alcohol stove but you definitely need to be extremely careful with them.

sounds like Mr. Weber who started the fire is going to need a mental health counselor himself. fucking asshole....it's as dry as it has ever been and this guy is out using an alcohol stove. did he not hear anything about the last fire?
I hope they go after everything he has.

This is going to be an intense summer.

It is something that has to happen and I feel bad for the families that lose
their homes and possesions, but in the end they chose to live in the mountains
and could have and should have taken better precautions to protect their homes
from fire. The ignitable tinder in the mountains is astonishing and is just waiting
to go up. IDK if I am cold hearted or what, but fires are inevitable in the mountains
and with the huge amount of fire prevention in the last 100 years, fires have
more dry tinder, will be more intense then when
mother nature naturally allowed them to happen.

Flame suit on..... no pun intended.

It's one thing for natural fires to occur. It's another when they're started through the carelessness of stupid people.

Yes...we all choose to live where we do to one extent or the other. But how come no one ever says, "It sucks that your house got broken into but, hey, you chose to live in the city with all the criminals."

…people choose to live where there is hail.
…people choose to live where there are tornados.
…people choose to live where there is flooding.
…people choose to live where there are earthquakes.
…people choose to live where there are hurricanes.
…people choose to live near a bunch of illegals who break into your garage, steal your tools, and steal your neighbor’s truck.
No matter where you live something threatens your property, your life, or your family. Fire may be a threat, but I find there are far fewer threats, namely people, than living in my house in Aurora. It is nice knowing that my log splitter, tools, and tires sitting by my garage, etc. will actually be there when I get home unlike my previous residence where the illegals would steal anything not bolted down including my landscaping bricks (not to mention the yearly tagging of my fence by a bunch of worthless youth).

EDIT: I forgot this one...no point in spraying my apple tree in the front yard because the locals would actually come in my yard and pick the apples. Fire or no fire, there is no way in hell I would ever live down there again.

I think the guy was Drinking alcohol, and had a stove, walked away and when he stumbled back it was too late.
