Osprey's dropped fish ignites brush fire in British Columbia

A small brush fire and power outage occurred in British Columbia, Canada, when an osprey dropped its fish catch mid-flight. The fish struck power lines, creating sparks that ignited dry grass. Firefighters, with assistance from ranchers and the local electric utility, contained and extinguished the less-than-an-acre blaze. The incident temporarily disrupted electricity in Ashcroft. Fire officials suspect the bird may have dropped the fish due to its size and the day's heat, humorously adding another theory that the osprey might have desired cooked fish.
