The Office of the State Fire Marshal and several other agencies are looking for anyone who may have been in the area of the serpentine trail of Soldiers Delight Overlook between 2:30 and 3 p.m., Tuesday, April 4. 

The historic fire burned over 700 acres around the Soldiers Delight Natural Environment area on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Over 200 firefighters came to assist in putting out the blaze, and 29 homes were evacuated as a precaution. Helicopters were eventually called in to help dump water over the burning areas, which reached hundreds of feet in height.

Investigators are also looking to speak to anyone who may have been in the area behind the visitor's center on Sunday afternoon. 

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Office of the State Fire Marshals at 410-386-3050.
