HEREFORD - "It wasn't the rabbits or rattlesnakes that started this fire,"
Sheriff Dever said at the morning press conference, insinuating that the
assumed perpetrators are illegal immigrants.

"When this fire started, Montezuma National Monument was closed. The forest
around it was closed," Dever said. "So, whoever started the fire was there illegally."

He went on to say that the fire was started very near to a fence at the U.S.-Mexico border,
in a known smuggling route for both humans and narcotics.

"Anything is possible, except for lightning," he said.
"But it appears to have started right on the fence."
