A significant wildfire was ignited by an individual attempting to cremate their dog, according to investigators. Authorities found the charred remains of a dog named Rocket in the vicinity of the fire's origin.

Authorities in Colorado have reported that a man's attempt to cremate his dog inadvertently ignited a wildfire last month. Investigators examining the cause of the blaze in western Colorado found the partially charred remains of the dog, which led them to conclude that the cremation effort was responsible for the fire. This incident resulted in the destruction of a home and raised concerns about the dangers of improper disposal methods for pets.
