A brush fire that prompted a power outage<\/a> in rural Canada broke out after an airborne fish<\/a> dropped from the sky, say fire officials.<\/p>\n

Firefighters were called out to the blaze near the village of Ashcroft, British Columbia<\/a>. When they arrived, a handful of ranchers and employees from the British Columbia Hydro and Power Authority, a Canadian electric utility company, were actively fighting the flames.<\/p>\n

Crews managed to tackle the fire using roughly 4,800 gallons of water. But it was the bizarre cause of the blaze that came as a surprise to crews.<\/p>\n
