[QUOTE="klmno, post: 285889, member: 3699"] Since this topic came up, I remember that a few years ago someone drove down the street near a place I worked and threw out a cig. It caught a small hillside of dried grass on fire. This happened in broad daylight, at lunch time with people all around and fire investigators confirmed that that is the only way it could have started. The fire spread so quickly, it was about a third of the way up the hill before anyone noticed and had consumed the area before the firetrucks got there. After Janet questioned whether or not a match would stay lit until it hit the ground, it makes me wonder if it wouldn't be more likely to have been started by a cig. than a match. He got caught because another kid saw him and told the fire investigator who did it. Between that kid's story and the investigation at the scene, the fire investigator concluded that no accelerator was used. [/QUOTE]
