Talk about a party foul! Arizona’s biggest wildfire — which has scorched 18,000 acres and caused $6 million in damages so far — was started by one shotgun-toting bonehead at a bachelor party, according to authorities. Court documents claim Steven Shiflet, 23, of Mesa, Ariz., was partying with four male buddies, including one who was married a week later, in the Sycamore Creek area on May 12, when they started firing several guns at targets. According to an affidavit filed by Lucas Woolf, a special agent of the United States Forest Service, it was two hours into the shooting that Shiflet fired an “incendiary shotgun shell” from a Remington 12 gauge at a soda box, after which smoke started billowing from a nearby bush.
