Firebird?
I'm not talking about Firebird in terms of a sporty car. . .I'm talking about a bird that literally caused a fire to start. From what I heard yesterday on Paul Harvey, the fire occurred in the northern part of the U.S. and involved a commercial structure like an office building. As investigators where doing their investigation to determine a cause, they pulled a wall (think LARGE hole) and found a considerable amount of debris such as paper, trash, etc. Their first assumption - and justifiably so - was that someone had stuffed the debris into the wall and lit it off. That theorty was quickly dispelled, however, when - as they were bagging what they thought was evidence - a small bird flew in and deposited more paper and debris. Turns out the bird had built a nest in the void and it was ignited by wiring in the wall. See what I mean about a "Firebird?" Walter
