HELENA, Mont. (AP) A Montana man was arrested Wednesday for causing a fire near Yellowstone National Park that has burned 46 square miles (120 square kilometers) and torched more than two dozen homes and other structures.
John Lightburn, 55, of Bridger, was charged with felony negligent arson and felony criminal mischief for allegedly starting the fire while attempting to repair his motorcycle on U.S. Forest Service land south of Red Lodge, Montana, along the state line with Wyoming, according to an affidavit by Carbon County Attorney Alex Nixon.
Lightburn told a retired investigator near the scene of the fire June 13 that he was riding a dirt bike on a trail in the Robertson Draw area that had been closed to motor vehicles, according to the affidavit.
