Authorities announced Tuesday that arrests have been made in connection with a Rio Blanco County wildfire last month.
Five people were taken into custody Monday, accused of starting the Yellowjacket fire on Aug. 15 that charred more than 35 acres near the town of Meeker.
No injuries or structural loss were reported in the Yellowjacket fire, which was just one of multiple fires raging in and around the drought-ridden county at the time, including the state’s largest wildfire of the season, the Lee fire.
Five suspects are each facing a felony charge of firing woods or prairie and a federal charge of entering a forest closure.
