Sonora, CA — U.S. Forest Service Special Agents and Fire Investigators have determined that “activities associated with recreation” caused the 6,000 plus acre Knight Fire in the Stanislaus National Forest.
The nearly $12 million fire started on July 26th. Officials say specific evidence regarding the origin of the fire is being withheld for investigative purposes, but say it was clearly a result of human activity.
