From LA Times coverage of this week's fires out in 909 land:
"Police arrested Richard Drew Brown, 44, late Monday on suspicion of recklessly causing the Cerrito fire by dragging a large piece of steel chained behind his truck on Mayhew Road near Interstate 15, Riverside County Fire Department spokesman Rick Vogt said.
Witnesses reported that the piece of steel, estimated at eight feet long, was bouncing on the asphalt, causing sparks that shot into a brush-covered area off the road and igniting the fire."
YEEEE-HAW!
