ASPEN, Colo. (AP) - Authorities say the fire that destroyed a cabin on a Colorado mountain was probably caused by a human.
The Aspen Times reports (https://bit.ly/1NJv1EN ) that Aspen Volunteer Fire Department Chief Rick Balentine says there is no evidence to suggest the blaze on Buttermilk Mountain on Sunday night was set intentionally.
Balentine says it’s hard to say what did start the flames that burned the Fort Frog cabin to the ground.
Aspen Skiing Co. spokesman Jeff Hanle said in a statement Monday that the frontier-style fort entertained thousands of kids for many years.
U.S. Forest Service law enforcement officer Chris Mandrick says the investigation is ongoing and he can’t release any details.
