Witnesses say a wildfire threatening part of Jackson appears to have started in the back yard of a home south of town. The ground was charred up to the door of the home that records show belongs to James Anderson III. The home was undamaged. A statement released Tuesday by Jay and Jason Anderson says their father, 76-year-old James Anderson - QUOTE - "remains extremely distraught" about the ignition of the fire and is working with investigators. Investigators say the fire was "human-caused" and won't release more information before they complete their investigation. The Little Horsethief Fire has burned more than 4 square miles of forest since starting Saturday. About 1,000 Jackson residents are told to be ready to evacuate if necessary.
