Fire Area of Origin:
Other
Fire Cause:
Unintentional
Estimated Dollar Loss:
$500
Investigator Narrative:
The fire occurred in the shooting range near the floor and involved the wall covering materials in a small area. There was a video that showed an individual using lane no. 9 and firing down the range for approximately 45 minutes. The video showed the fire originated at floor-level, developed into a four to five foot tall fire and diminish in size. The camera captured a flame front at the ceiling level for a brief time. With this information, it was theorized the fire was caused by normal shooting operations when hot bullet fragments landed in close proximity to available fuels (firtex) to create a smoldering fire.

Due to a lack of any ignition sources present and the extensive damage caused by the fire, the cause of the fire was undetermined. The area of origin was the pile of railroad ties approximately 30 feet east of the railroad tracks, near the intersection of SE Hwy 212 and SE 82nd Drive. The cause of this fire has been ruled undetermined and was closed pending any new information.
