It is the story in her signed confession of the events of June 8, It is the story that appears in her plea agreements to both state and federal criminal charges.
It is the story that two federal judges have accepted in official rulings. And it is a story that gives the already memorable tale of the Hayman fire a particularly operatic touch — that of a woman whose anguish was so great it burned down a forest. But what if you also knew that investigators found no evidence of paper inside the campfire ring? Or that the ring itself appeared to have been tampered with? Or that Barton has told multiple versions of when she received the letter, what it said, and whether she even read it?
Or that the woman who investigated her, the wildfire expert who gathered evidence against her, and the man who prosecuted her all believe that Barton has never told the truth — that they believe there was no letter? Barton served five lonely years in prison for sparking the blaze and remains on probation.
She owes tens of millions of dollars in restitution. Even after she was freed, she found herself confronted with the essential question about the day she ignited a wildfire that consumed homes. Under the fluorescent lighting of a federal courtroom in September , a lawyer fixed his gaze on Barton, who had been called as a witness in a civil suit seeking to hold the U.
Forest Service liable for the fire. On Saturday, June 8, , I left my home and my husband handed me a letter. He told me he had burned the divorce papers, earlier in the week when he was in Arkansas. He was suppose to sign the papers. I left for work at and took the letter with me. The letter was very upsetting to me. On one day alone, it ran 19 miles. It put up a smoke plume so massive that it created its own weather.
Barton was the first to report the fire, originally telling fellow rangers she was out on patrol when she smelled smoke, investigated, and came upon a runaway campfire. But almost immediately, investigators questioned her story. A week after the fire started, during an interview with detectives in the forest clearing where it began, Barton buckled under questioning, admitted to starting the fire and signed a confession.
In that statement, Barton said her husband gave her the letter as she left the house for work the morning of the fire. When she saw the fire ring while on patrol, she said, she had an idea. When Barton was asked about this discrepancy during the civil trial, she said her memory was unclear and that she believed she received the letter a day or two before the fire. A story in the Colorado Springs Gazette, based on an interview with Barton, described the letter as being something her husband had written to her months before the fire.
Barton also gave conflicting accounts of what the letter said. In her testimony, Barton said she did read the letter and that her husband apologized to her in it and said he wanted to work things out. John Barton also changed his story several months after his first interview with authorities in and said he did give Terry a letter.
Meanwhile, Forest Service agent Paul Steensland, an expert in wildfire investigations who worked on the Hayman case, had a question central to the confession: If Terry Barton burned a letter, where was the paper? Continuing to work with public and private partners is essential for longterm recovery and forest regeneration.
Over a decade after the fire, volunteers continue to stabilize stream banks and reduce erosion by planting willows. We use cookies on our website to give you the most relevant experience by remembering your preferences and repeat visits.

Judge William Bain referred to the free babysitting when he extended her probation. Does this mean Miss Barton may end up spending the rest of her life paying restitution—yes, it in all likelihood it means Miss Barton is going to spend the rest of her life paying for restitution. Along with extending the probation, Judge Bain ordered Barton to get a forty hour a week job.
The probation will no longer be supervised by a parole officer. It is in part so money toward legal fees can instead go toward to restitution. News Covering Colorado. Actions Facebook Tweet Email.
