Woah. A hunter! He'll be charged and will lose his gun license, hunting license, freedom. Just sad to know an idiot human started that. Amazing how they can trace it back, though.

Earlier this year, Wisconsin had its largest forest fire in 30 years. It was determined that the cause was malfunctioning logging company equipment, but since it was accidental there were no charges. Jforce is right that authorities usually seem to do a good job identifying culprits for major forest fires. It could be that most cases are accidental, and the firestarters feel remorse and want to take responsibility compared to the trickier to catch urban arsonists.
