For example: Flaming squirrel to blame for Californian fire
Hmm.. (Bet you'll keep reading)
The Associated Press reported, "With southern California fighting wind-driven flames and spot fires breaking out across northern California, firefighters have fingered at least one arsonist: an unlucky squirrel.
Redding firefighters say the squirrel set off the blaze when it shorted out a power line, caught fire and dropped into dry vegetation."
I bet you Darwin would have something to say about that squirrel.

Reminds me of Whitey, the famous albino squirrel that lives near my dorm. The first Whitey got eaten by a hawk...so good lucky to Whitey #2
I thought I saw new of this on tv. I heard squirrel and fire used in the same sentence on the weather channel and it definitely got my attention!
The fire began when a squirrel shorted out a power line. Every year in California thousands of wildfires start throughout the state. Flaming Squirrel Blamed for Northern California Wildfire.There is plenty to do today, so be sure to get a head start.The biologists even dig burrows with power augers, giving the squirrels a head start in establishing new homes.
