The Sawmill Fire is shown erupting from an exploding target — with blue smoke curling off the fire's fringes — in a video just obtained by the Arizona Daily Star.
The 49-second video clearly shows the fire starting in yellow grassland near a stand of mesquite trees from the exploding target on state land in the Santa Rita Mountain foothills on April 23, 2017. Towards the end of the video, a male voice is heard saying "Start packing up!" twice.

The Star obtained the video from the U.S. Forest Service through the Freedom of Information Act. The service, which led the investigation into the fire's origin, blacked out persons shown in the video. In a letter to Star reporter Tony Davis, Forest Service official Tracy Perry cited two exemptions to FOIA allowing the withholding of information to protect peoples' privacy. Perry is the service's director of Law Enforcement and Investigations.
Border Patrol Agent Dennis Dickey, who has admitted starting the fire with an explosive target, ignited the blaze during a gender reveal party that was held to show the gender of his wife's expected baby, his attorney Sean Chapman told the Star in September.

Before the fire was over, it had burned 47,000 acres and cost $8.2 million to extinguish, with nearly 800 firefighters battling the blaze.

You’re not arguing against me, toots. You’re arguing against the actual definition of the word you don’t understand. Toodles, toots.
I remember you now, you were the one that came up with the whole “internet porn whore” thing we all had so much fun with. LMAO! Hag.
BTW, I have workboots with more education than you.
Take another look at your very angry post to me. You try to correct me, yet your post is rife with errors. Way to go, prune.

Did burning sulfur fall from the sky?
Not only is your memory extremely faulty, you are one confused/delusional, tantrum throwing child.
Whomever you are thinking of...it is NOT ME!
Not only have I NEVER even thought of the words you accuse me of posting, I have never, not even once, ever posted :"internet porn whore"; nor have I ever even seen such a thing posted to any thread here...not in 20+ years!
BTW...I have seen roadkill, many times over, with more education and an higher IQ to begin with, than you have!
Thank you for another poorly written screed, you uneducated, bumptious old troll.
Thanks for continuing to prove me correct.
You’re still wrong btw, crankypants.
This sentence alone is enough to give an English teacher a seizure. You lose.
