    Probably not cooking meth. The area the fire started was in the open. Agents said it looked like accelerant had been poured through the grass than set on fire.

    That was called the Antelope Fire. The result of a spark that ignited while Fort Huachuca was clearing fire break. It was put out in a few hours. The firebreak is needed because of the ongoing Monument Fire in the southern end of the Huachuca Mountains. 27,000 acres and growing. It started 12 June, believed to have been arson caused. The ignition point was just south of the fence marking the U.S.-Mexicon border.
