"MASSIVE FIRE — About 300 acres north of County Road 3657 near Salt Creek were destroyed by fire yesterday afternoon . . . The cause of the fire isn’t clear, but a cigarette flicked from a moving car is thought to be the culprit."
Huh? It's not "clear" presumably means there were no eyewitnesses that could definitively tells us what happened, but a "cigarette flicked" from a car is "thought" to be the reason? Where does that come from?

From your car Barry duh?
....it will become a REALLY big story for the Messenger if it turns out somebody from Bridgeport flipped out the cig that supposedly started the fire......
:)
Why, was it you? I heard the person was from Jacksboro you Sissy.
So this story was in Update before the blog? Hmmm.
Jacksboro, Bridgeport, Dec. what is the difference?
9:40 am - What's the difference?? Are you from Chico?
No, I'm from New Harp!
HAHAHA, I knew a Bridgeport person did it. I hope the MESS has a front page picture of this person in shackles.
Y'all have it wrong! EVERYONE knows it's people from the metroplex who drive all the way to Wise County to set fires, rob stores, steal tractors, rustle cattle and drive around drinking the beer they buy from Wal-Mart.
Gee and I thought it was "those" evacuees from the hurricane causing all the trouble!!!!
Haven't we kinda gotten off subject here? I also wonder how even a fire marshal can determine a cigarette started a fire of this magnitude.........any ideas?
If it started next to the road, it's usually either a cig or a piece of metal dragging from a trailer causing sparks. Idiots that flip cigarettes out of car windows should be shot. Those things never decompose!
Correction: the "cigarette" i.e. the paper and tobacco DO decompose. It is the synthetic "filter" that does not naturally decompose. (use a little acetone on one and watch it melt)
