After two years of racking up infractions working at Sylvan Dale Ranch near Loveland, the 49-year-old man charged with arson in the Alexander Mountain fire may have wanted to play the hero, according to an arrest affidavit. Jason Hobby was arrested earlier this month in connection to the Larimer County wildfire that charred nearly 10,000 acres and caused more than $30 million in damage to private and public property, according to Larimer County officials. The fire, which burned for more than two weeks, destroyed 29 homes and 21 outbuildings and damaged another four homes.
