Rim Fire: Possible Illegal Marijuana Grow Sparks Fire

kfsn
By ABC30
FRESNO, Calif.

"We know it's human caused," said Fire Chief Todd McNeal. "There was no lightning in the area. But we don't know the exact cause. Highly suspect that there might have been some sort of illicit grove, a marijuana-grow-type thing."

We contacted the United States Forest Service and showed them the fire chief's comment. The only official response they would release at this time is the Rim Fire cause is still under investigation.
