Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Alaska Case of couple charged with starting Sockeye fire headed to trial

PALMER — The Anchorage couple charged with starting last year's destructive Sockeye fire in Willow is headed to trial.

Prosecutors say Greg Imig, 60, and Amy DeWitt, 42, burned a pile of debris on June 14, 2015, without clearing the area or having water on hand, allowing the fire to escape into a forest before they drove away in their motor home. The resulting fire destroyed 55 homes and more than 100 structures and cost more than $8 million to fight.

Hope they get nailed to the wall, but I doubt they will. Douches of the first order, both of them. I only lost 10 acres, but a bunch of people lost everything and I hope the civil case bankrupts his ass.

without debtors' prisons it will be tough to get much out of them...
