(left) and Jason Allmong douse the remainder of a fire on Dragon's

Tooth on Tuesday afternoon. About 45 firefighters, including

volunteers from Virginia Tech and Radford University, worked the

ridge, and only one hot spot remained of the 100-acre fire by the

afternoon, said David Olson of the U.S. Forest Service.

Investigators believe an abandoned campfire started the forest fire

Monday afternoon. Anyone with information is asked to call the

Forest Service at (540)265-5105. color.
