June 17--ORONDO -- Fire officials say they think a fire in a beaver dam at Daroga State Park was human-caused.
"There were no other sources of ignition in the area," said Jim Oatey, chief of Douglas County Fire District 4 at Orondo.
He said he thinks fire crews stopped the fire before it reached the beavers inside.
The fire was reported at 12:21 p.m. Sunday. Oatey said responding crews found flames erupting from the roof of the beaver lodge, which was on the banks of the Columbia River.
