A quick investigation revealed the unusual cause of the fire: a fish. The fish had been dropped by a local osprey onto a hydro line, causing embers to fall into the dry grasses below.
"We do suspect by the size of the fish and the heat of the day probably caused the rather tired bird to drop its catch," said a spokesperson. "Or another suspicion could be that it’s tired of raw fish and wanted to give cooked a try."
"The suspect osprey has been caught and is being held in custody for questioning. The judge has not granted bail as the suspect poses an extreme flight risk!" the agency said jokingly on Facebook.
