DENVER (KDVR) — Investigators believe they have arrested the man responsible for three fires that sparked Sunday evening in Moffat County and said the fires may have been started with fireworks.

According to the Moffat County Sheriff's Office, the first wildland fire was reported at about 10 p.m. along Highway 40 near milepost 75. It was extinguished by the Maybell Volunteer Fire Department and Moffat County Sheriff's Office deputies found evidence at the scene indicating fireworks had caused the blaze.

While working on that fire, a second fire was reported on Highway 318, just west of Maybell. The volunteer fire department deployed further resources and deputies again found evidence of fireworks usage. However, the Moffat County Sheriff's Office was told by a witness that a male suspect was seen lighting fireworks in the area before speeding away.

At about 12:30 a.m. on July 7, a third fire was reported, this time on Highway 318 near milepost 45. The sheriff's office said this fire "posed an immediate threat" to a ranch and multiple nearby structures.

Maybell Volunteer Fire Department, Moffat County Wildland Fire and the Bureau of Land Management Fire responded and contained the fire.

At the scene was once again evidence of fireworks, according to the sheriff's office.

Shortly after the last fire was reported near the ranch, deputies found a suspect vehicle near milepost 39 on Highway 318.

The driver was identified as Kobe John Dimick, 22, of Casper, Wyoming. He was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol and multiple counts of arson related to the wildland fires.

“The rapid response and thorough investigative work of our deputies played a crucial role in identifying and arresting the suspect responsible for these dangerous and reckless acts," said Moffat County Sheriff Chip McIntyre in a release. "Intentionally or negligently setting fires with fireworks during high fire danger not only endangers lives and property, but also puts our firefighters and first responders at unacceptable risk. We will not tolerate this kind of disregard for public safety in Moffat County.”

The Moffat County Sheriff's Office investigation into the fires is ongoing. Anyone with additional information is asked to contact the sheriff's office at 970-824-4495.
