This means the fire was started by humans, either intentional or accidental; equipment, smoking, campfire, debris burning, railroad, arson, children, fireworks, vehicle.
Small human caused fire left burning adjacent to a large tree, in a remote area near Arizona Lake. No lightning was represented on area lightning maps. Three firefighters suppressed the small fire and called the fire "out" the same afternoon.
A small, abandoned campfire without a fire ring was found smoldering in the upper Curtis Canyon area on the evening of July 5th. Many and most of the Jackson district camping areas are designated dispersed campsites, requiring campers to use identified numbered sites. For fire safety and protection, these areas require using existing metal fire rings when building a campfire. Building a new fire ring is not advised and may lead to a high cos$ when flames escape the fire ring.
