An osprey caught, then dropped the fish on power lines, sparking embers that landed on dry grass below, firefighters suspect
An osprey caught a fish but got tired in the heat and dropped it onto power lines, sparking a brush fire in western Canada – at least that’s what firefighters believe. Or maybe the bird is an aspiring chef.
“Another suspicion could be that it’s tired of raw fish and wanted to give cooked a try,” the Ashcroft Fire Rescue service said in a tongue-in-cheek social media post about the incident.
The firefighters shared photos of the charred fish on the blackened ground and said the fire took place on July 30 about 6km (4 miles) south of the British Columbia town of Ashcroft.
