Crooked Tree Fire Was Arson
posted (May 17, 2017)

And while that fire was a case of arson, so too it appears with the Audubon Society’s Visitor's Center at the Crooked Tree Wildlife Sanctuary.  Orin Smith filled us in:

Orin Smith - Station Officer, National Fire Service
“The Crooked Tree fire investigation determined that fire to be incendiary.â€￾

Reporter
“Give us more details.â€￾

Orin Smith
“There were trailers found on the step leading to a veranda, trailers are usually devices whether liquid or materialize that is used to lead a fire into an area you want it to go and that was discovered on one of the staircase that led to a veranda and eventually to the structure itself.â€￾

As we have told you, many in the Crooked Tree community are bitterly opposed to the Audubon Society which it claims curtails their traditional hunting and fishing practices.
