Border Patrol: Off-duty agent suspected of starting Sawmill Fire
An off-duty Tucson Sector Border Patrol agent is suspected of causing the Sawmill Fire burning in southeastern Arizona, authorities said Thursday afternoon.
A statement from the Tucson Sector Border Patrol said the off-duty agent was involved in recreational shooting when the fire sparked about 10 miles southeast of Green Valley midday Sunday.
The agent immediately reported the fire to authorities, the Border Patrol said.
The Border Patrol deferred all other questions about the investigation to be directed to the state agency investigating the fire.
