BENTON COUNTY SHERIFF July 99
Badger blaze Boys may be charged for fire KENNEWICK (Tuesday, 7-9-99)---Three Kennewick boys ages 10 to 12 may face charges for starting a range fire that burned a large chunk of real estate in Badger Canyon this afternoon.   Lower Yakima Valley hills were covered in a thick gray haze following the blaze.   Investigators reportedly found foot prints plus burnt matches and twigs in the area where the fire originated. They interviewed area residents and learned the boys were responsible, deputies said.   Deputies said the boys started a camp fire. One of them took a burning stick and threw it toward dry brush and grass, which ignited. Soon, the blaze was out of control.   Local residents summoned fire units, which worked for hours to control the blaze.   Deputies said the case is still under investigation. Reports will be sent to the Benton County prosecutor for review and possible charges, according to Lt. Al Thompson.
