State Forestry officials believe the fire at Natural Bridge State Resort Park was set by an arsonist. That’s according to Steve Kull, a senior environmental scientist consultant with the Division of Forestry and a former firefighter. He said the arson determination was a process of elimination.
“No campfire that escaped, there were no electrical sparks or anything that would cause the fire there was. And this was at the point what we determined the point of ignition was there wasn't any weather in the area at the time that would have led to any kind of lightning strikes that there are no trees that are burning, that would indicate that they were hit by lightning.”
