Here's more on the lady who started it. Again, it's from 9news.com.<p>*************************************************
Arrest made in Hayman fire
Written by Web Producer Susan Wells, and Web Producer Jeannie Piper <p>Officials say Terry Lynn Barton, 38, of Teller County, is a recreation technician for the U.S. Forest Service. <p>Barton reportedly admitted to authorities that she started the fire. She was enforcing the fire ban in Pike National Forest when she started a fire on June 9 and then tried to put it out. She was burning papers, although officials wouldn't say what kind of papers. <p>Barton is charged with setting fire to timber in a national forest, damaging federal property and making false statements to federal fire investigators. If convicted, she could face jail time and/or fines. <p>Barton has worker for the Forest Service seasonally for 18 to 19 years, officials say. <p>Gov. Bill Owens also spoke during the press conference. He said it's important not to let the apparent action of one person reflect negatively on the Forest Service and overshadow the firefighter's efforts to contain the blaze. He also said whether a fire is set intentionally, accidentally, or by Mother Nature, it's very important to be careful outdoors. <p>So far, it has cost $6.7 million to fight the Hayman fire. When it's all over, that figure could be over $50 million.<p>A lot of the cost comes from paying, moving and feeding firefighters. It's also expensive to fight the fire from the air. Flying slurry bombers is a couple thousand dollars a flight.<p>The Federal Emergency Management Agency is stepping in and paying 75 percent of the immediate costs.<p>The blaze has already burned 102,895 acres. It was still spreading along its south edge Saturday, but on the northern end, firefighters have had a productive couple of days. <p>The U.S. Forest Service released the latest boundary map Saturday. It shows the newest burn areas in the south, near Lake George and on the eastern side along Highway 67. <p>Crews have the fire 35 percent contained. Sixty-six structures have burned, including 25 homes. <p>Fourteen aircraft were fighting the fire, and more elite firefighting crews have been ordered to help out. An estimated 2,200 personnel were battling the fire. <p>Anyone with information about the person(s) responsible for starting the fire is asked to call the Douglas County Sheriff's Office Tip Line at 303-660-7579. <p>
SOUTH FIRE
Firefighters have been digging trenches and picking over burned out areas for hot spots along the southern edge of the fire. <p>Some evacuees from Park and Teller County had their first chance to see their homes Saturday. They were escorted to their properties by van, but were not allowed to stay.<p>Two slurry-equipped C-130s from Petersen Air Force Base joined the battle over Hayman south Friday. It is the first time that military planes have been used to fight wildfires in Colorado. The C-130s carry twice as much slurry as the regular air tankers.<p>Firefighters need to dig about 90 miles of lines to contain the flames.<p>The hottest and most active part of the fire continues to be the southern side. <p>NORTH FIRE
The fire's northern edge has remained less active, but officials are worried that strong winds in the forecast will cause the fire to grow.<p>Officials reported no additional acres charred Friday morning on the north side. <p>Nearly 1,800 residents on the north side of the Hayman fire have been able to return home. The volunteer evacuees are from Roxborough Park, Roxborough Village, Indian Creek Ranch, Jackson Creek, Madge Creek, Shamballah, Oak Valley, Sedalia and Perry Park.<p>The fire is backing down to the South Platte River and full structure protection is underway along the South Platte and Kelsey Rivers. In the North Rainbow Falls subdivision, prep-work is occurring around houses.<p>The northeast flank of the fire that had been advancing toward the Sedalia and Roxborough areas of Douglas County has barely moved since its run Tuesday. <p>ROAD CLOSURES:
