The Coronado NF would like a word.

You can see something ricocheting into the air off his target.

Dumb asses. What were the shooting some sort of draggons breath? That wasn't just buck shot.

There was a comment that that might be what it was. Maybe it's more impressive at night.

Luckily they contained the fire at 115 acres.

Dragons Breath doesn't cycle semi-autos, especially recoil-operated ones like that Benelli. Not sure what it was, but it was definitely incendiary.

Thursday update

A man who was caught on video firing a shotgun that caused sparks to set off a wildfire that burned around 115 acres near Tucson has been identified and interviewed, U.S. Forest Service officials said.
The man, whose name was not released to the public, was located by investigators after the public "provided multiple timely and actionable tips," officials said Thursday.
"The case has now been referred to the U.S. Attorney’s Office," said Starr Farrell, a spokeswoman for USFS.
