Default Power tool may have sparked Santa Barbara wildfire

http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/...53E0QD983OTJO0

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. (AP) - The wildfire that has scorched 13 square
miles and destroyed dozens of homes in the hills above this scenic
coastal city was apparently sparked by a power tool being used to clear
brush, investigators said Sunday.

....

Officials declined to comment further about the type of power tool that
may have been used, or if anyone could face charges.

=============

Well, if they were using a plasma cutter, I could see charges being filed :-)
