Osprey fish drop sparks British Columbia blackout—one airborne trout strikes live power lines, launching a 0.4ha brush fire and cutting electricity for 1,500 Ashcroft villagers. Top trending: “weirdest wildfire causes” and “animals interrupting power.” Fire officials state, “our prime suspect sustained no injuries and is still flying at large.”

Unlike lightning or careless campers, this blaze began with a sky-diving fish and an overworked osprey. Authorities believe the 3.2km flight and searing heat left the bird “tired of raw fish and wanting to give cooked a try”—a culinary experiment gone awry. Trending queries: “do birds cause blackouts?” and “most unusual wildfire origins.” The only casualty: a fish, roasted by physics, mourned by no one.

The charred fish, dropped from an osprey’s talons onto a live wire, left Ashcroft’s streets dark as firefighters contained a 0.4ha blaze sparked by airborne seafood.
