Wildfire investigators looking for the cause of blaze in western Colorado last month discovered the partially burned remains of a dog — leading to the conclusion that a man’s attempted cremation of his pet sparked a fire that destroyed one home.

Brent Scott Garber, 63, was accused of igniting the Bucktail wildfire in Nucla while cremating his dog, the Montrose County Sheriff’s Office said.

A Colorado man was arrested after he attempted to cremate his pet dog which allegedly sparked a wildfire. The fire caused $200,000 in damage and burned about 11 square miles. Investigators said the cause of a wildfire in Colorado last month was due to a man who was attempting to cremate his dog.

Law enforcement arrested the man who tried to cremate his dog and he was charged with arson and trespassing, according to AP. The wildfire was estimated to have caused about $200,000 in damages and burned about 11 square miles, according to The Denver Post.

The man “was really down” about his dog’s death but “did not put the blame anywhere else and knew it was his fault,” witnesses told investigators.

The pet's cremation got out of control when a spray can the suspect threw into the blaze blew and lit a tree on fire, officials said.
