Monumental Cover Up
Forest Service Hides the Truth
Tucson Weekly -- July 23
A Hollywood director searching for a location to film the post-apocalypse should come to the Huachuca Mountains outside of Sierra Vista.
The Monument Fire began at the border on June 12 and scorched across this once-beautiful landscape, bringing terror and destruction to places like Ash Canyon.
Residents are beginning to rebuild, just as monsoon rains bring the potential for devastating flooding.
They also want to know who did this.
Representatives of the National Park Service and the U.S. Forest Service are still investigating the human-caused fire, and some doubt that the feds will release their completed findings.
Chuck Alton, station manager at Cochise TV, a Bisbee-based news outlet, says it's important for citizens to know everything. "Whether they release it or not is a hard question," says Alton. "I don't trust the federal government to do what I think they ought to do. If it's real sensitive, I wouldn't put it past them not to."
