Shooting a gun sparked the fire that raced up Mount Difficult ab will and burned more than 3000 acres. First 911 call came from address on Morgan Territory road very close to Byron Williams home. My brother was here the day it started. I was actually at my girlfriend out of town and he heard either tirtion popping or gunshots some kind of loud sound like that prior to the start of the fire. Shooting out here is kind of common. Reporter neighbors here suspected it started on somebody private property but fire sparked by gun is rare. Everybody is real safe with the firearms. Never heard of anybody getting shot or no other fire starting from that. Reporter with the fire nearly out crew return to the stakes but a lot of work to be done. Fire burned away a lot of brush and concern now is the rainy season that could setoff mud slides down the mountain. Channel down the valley and stuff like that. Reporter thats one of the things that the Fire Suppression repair folk concentrate on. Reporter
