On Dec. 7, the Earth Liberation Front claimed responsibility for setting the fire.  Sergeant Dan Barber of the Boulder County Sheriff’s office is heading the investigation.

According to Barber, “The matter is under investigation.  The results from the lab will take several weeks.” Deputy Sheriff Amy Frank, operating out of the Niwot substation, was on the scene at the Legend Ridge fire and also investigated a small fire in a shed on Franklin Street the next night. The shed fire was caused by careless smokers and resulted in only minimal damage.
