muledeerarea33? Report post Posted April 26, 2017 Hope it doesn't hit sonoita. If it gets into the whetstones they won't be able to stop it. It's so thick in there I'm positive it'd burn to hwy 90 real fast. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Snapshot Report post Posted April 26, 2017 Just saw a photo of some homes in the sonoita district. Slurry bombers dropped it right on the houses. The grass was burned within a few feet of the home. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Phil Beavers Report post Posted April 28, 2017 Just heard on Fox 10 that fire was started by off duty Border Patrol agent recreational shooting, oopsIf that is true then that would explain why the news has been hush hush on the guy that started it by shooting explosive targets. Its all over the news now. Said he reported it immediately but still you should probably avoid exploding targets during the fire season... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DesertBull Report post Posted April 28, 2017 If it was any other guy they would not have mentioned his employer. Any chance the media can get to run down law enforcement, especially Border Patrol, they will take it and run it into the ground. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seems like they are just focusing on his bone head mistake. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seems like they are just focusing on his bone head mistake.If he was a construction worker would it have said "off duty construction worker starts fire"? If he was a casher at Frys would it say "off duty cashier starts fire"? Barber? Tree trimer? Post office worker? Get real dude. Not the proudest moment for the BP, but if you think for second that's not a passive slam on BP, you need to wake up and get some Folger in your cup. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
