A "personal drone" that crashed and burst into flames was the cause of the Kendrick Fire, a 335 acre fire in the Coconino National Forest (wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coconino_National_Forest) in northern Arizona, USA. Coconino National Forest spokesman George Jozens said that about 30 firefighters from the U.S. Forest Service and Summit Fire and Medical worked to quell the fire.

    Hey, you forgot your script - it's "smoking doesn't increase risks of cancer", or "smoking doesn't increase risks of heart disease", or "smoking is not addictive".

    And I too have seen bins asmoulder, do you think it's the packs of gummi bears that are to blame for that? I'm sure Phillip Morris would support you on that one, given their history.

    My turtle died to lung cancer. I know the dangerous of smoking. But on fire trash cans are a myth in these times.
