Squirrel fires regular occurrence in Canadian border town

The Associated Press

 

OSOYOOS, British Columbia — Once again, a squirrel clambering onto a power line has been blamed for a brush fire in this border town north of Oroville, Wash.

 

Firefighters were summoned Monday after a squirrel scrambled up a Fortis Inc. utility pole, got zapped and landed in flames on some dry brush outside a fruit packing business, Fire Chief Ross Driver said.

 

By the time a pumper truck and a bush truck arrived, nearby residents had doused the flames.

 

"This identical incident has happened on the same pole one or two times a year for the past several years," Driver said.

 

Each time, firefighters find a dead, burned squirrel at the base of the utility pole, he said.

 

Driver said he didn't know what Fortis could do to prevent future squirrel-caused fires.

Bomber or terrorist? conkerlive1_800.jpg

 

Is something wrong with this picture? Oversized heads and limbs characteristic of children, other characteristics such as widely dilated eyes, etc. suggestive of child-like appearance----yet bloodied bayonet?????

 

BTW, did ya notice that the Congressman who called for dropping a nuke on Mecca represents Littleton, Colorado? Does it mean anything? Prolly not, but unusual nevertheless.

Yeah, no one gets upset about killer cuddly snaffle games but when someone makes a sex mod for GTA San Andreas even Hillary Clinton supports censorship.

 

They should ban violence on TV and instead have sex on 24/7. That would make humans less chimp and more bonobo.
