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.

    I'll dump a box full of smoldering cigarrette butts on a total-body burn ward patient if it will quell your delusions.

    How would that address the issue in question ? A human body is in no way shape or form close to a trash can full of potentially flammable stuff. You've gone beyond reaching to just proving what a corn hole you are to everyone else...
