across the state. about 12:40 p.m. on march the 2nd, 1976, a ranger on highway 94 observed a fire. he was under the impression it was some type of disposal maybe of a farm animal. i received a call through the state radio system requesting our assistance. after i got there, here was this pile of dirt, a shovel off to one side. there was a red gas can. it was like someone had just dropped everything, set it on fire, and fled. but i did not realize at that point it was going to get much,
