flames engulfing over 70 vehicles and authorities are investigating the blaze, which they believe may have been caused by a cigarette. even tho the comments have been removed a lot were pointing out the the catalytic converter and even quoting owners manuals (who even reads them) parking in tall grass may not be a good idea https://www.yahoo.com/news/families-run-safety-huge-fire-195026409.html

Someone put a candle in the wrong place at the patch?

Started by a cigarette, sure. Lazy investigator IMO on that one.

If they blamed it on the real cause(cat converter) then someone would have to pay for all the loss.

I can see the owner of the field being hit with a class action lawsuit because they didn't cut the grass low enough to prevent a catalytic from contacting it.

Many fires in fields caused by hot cat converter stating way back when they first came out
