Firefighters believe the blaze was started after an osprey got tired in the heat and dropped its prey onto power lines, causing a short circuit.

Firefighters in British Columbia determined a power outage and small brush fire were caused by an osprey dropping a fish on a power line in the Ashcroft area.

A British Columbia fire rescue service's social media post joked that the osprey allegedly responsible for the blaze was "tired of raw fish and wanted to give cooked a try.”
