It was first reported that bullets caused four fires that have burned hundreds of acres of public rangeland in Idaho this year. Four of the 19 human-caused fires in Southwest Idaho this year instead were caused by the targets, which have become popular among target shooters. Three of those blazes were in the Treasure Valley this week: Two wildfires near Kuna on Sunday burned about 800 acres, and a fire on Monday burned 370 acres south of Marsing. In two of the four fires, shooters admitted that their exploding targets were the cause, said Jessica Gardetto, a Bureau of Land Management spokeswoman. Evidence at the other two scenes led law enforcement to blame the targets.
