Marijuana Grow Ruled Out As Cause For Golden Fire

(Salem, OR) -- Investigators are ruling out an illegal marijuana grow as the cause of the Golden Fire in southern Oregon. The Klamath County Sheriff's Office announced Tuesday it no longer believes an unsanctioned pot farm sparked the blaze. The 21-hundred-acre fire has destroyed at least 43 homes along with another 43 outbuildings and is threatening more homes near Bly Mountain, Beatty, Bonanza and Dairy. The fire is burning in timber with some torching that's creating spot fires. The blaze is reported to be 15-percent contained as of early this morning.
