Woman who started largest fire in Colorado history sentenced to 15 more years of probation By Ellie Mulder ellie.mulder@gazette.com Aug 16, 2018 Terry Barton, serves her sentence at the Federal Medical Center, Carswell in Fort Worth Texas. She is serving a six year federal sentence and a 12 year Colorado state sentence concurrently. Barton spent about two hours talking about the time period leading up and following that night she burned a letter from her estranged husband starting the Hayman fire. The fire, which burned 137,000 acres and destroyed 133 homes was the largest in Colorado history The Gazette, stuart wong Terry Barton in a Cripple Creek Courtroom in 2008. A former U.S. Forest Service fire spotter who was convicted of arson for starting the largest wildfire in Colorado history will spend 15 more years on unsupervised probation, 4th Judicial District Chief Judge William Bain ruled this week. During a severe drought and extreme fire danger in June 2002, Terry Lynn Barton reported that a fire had started in a campground northwest of Lake George. About a week later, she was arrested after admitting she accidentally started the fire by burning a letter from her estranged husband in a fire pit. The Hayman fire charred about 138,000 acres and destroyed 133 homes. Smoke and ash clog the air above the Hayman Fire in and around several counties of Colorado for as far as the eye can see on Tuesday, June 11, 2002 . Several subdivisions near the towns of Divide and Lake George were ordered to evacuate earlier in the day. The fire started last Saturday and had consumed more than 80, 000 acres of forest land in the Colorado Rocky Mountains as of early Tuesday evening. The fire continues to burn out of control with little help from the air and ground because of the danger and enormity of the fire. The Gazette, Bryan Oller Barton, 54, was released from prison in 2008, and her probation was set to end earlier this year, said DA’s Office spokeswoman Lee Richards. When the probation came to expire, “our Probation Department filed a complaint and report that she had violated her probation by not paying full restitution,” Richards said in an email. Barton has paid about $15,000 of the more than $42 million in restitution she owes, court records show. She’s been paying about $150 per month over the past decade, Richards said. Bain found Barton to be in violation of her probation and revoked it, regranting it for another 15 years on the condition that she works at least 40 hours a week and continues to pay restitution. “The judge found that she made the choice to not pay as much as she could,” Richards said in the email.

Most of the fires up here are man made, but central Canadian fires burn pretty slow. We saw one from the air last year and it was moving at a snails pace because it burns slowly through damp grass and moss. Fires are big business for aviation companies, fire-fighters and First Nations, while I have never witnessed one being started I have seen Chinese Lanterns being launched in the middle of the night, and God only knows where they come down.
