A camper has been arrested for starting a wildfire near the Buffalo Cabin Trail in Summit County, officials said Friday.
Sheriff's deputies contained the blaze with fire extinguishers on Wednesday. Firefighters finished the job - but it was a close call for the Wildernest neighborhood. The fire had expanded to 10-feet by 10-feet and was climbing trees.
Summit County Sheriff Jaime FitzSimons said: "While recent moisture helped prevent this fire from spreading, had this same incident occurred just a few weeks ago, the outcome could have been devastating."
