Members of Devizes cricket club in Wiltshire, western England, were burning dead branches when a rabbit caught up in the waste sped burning from the flames spreading a fire which destroyed lawnmowers and tools worth $110,000. "After it had been going 5 minutes, the rabbit shot out of the bonfire on fire and went into the hut which is our equipment store," club chairman John Bedbrook told Reuters. Two fire engines were called to extinguish the blaze. The rabbit's skeleton was discovered in the charred hut. "The firemen were certainly concerned about the rabbit. They felt sorry for it," said Bedbrook. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
