Fire investigators are thinking that a woodpecker started a fire that burned 90 acres in northwest Jacksonville, Florida on Sunday. Annaleasa Winter with the Florida Division of Forestry said a woodpecker’s carcass was found near a blown transformer at the point of origin of the fire. It took 100 firefighters assisted by a helicopter six hours to put it out.
This the the third bird-caused fire within the last year. I’m not a conspiracy theorist… I’m just saying.
We have added this to our list of “animal-arson” incidents.
