To be honest, I haven't heard of a fire starting this way but...
From the Havre Daily News: Firefighters today were fighting two lightning-caused fires in the
Bear Paw Mountains, as National Weather Service has issued a fire alert
for tonight and Friday in the region.
Hill County Disaster and
Emergency Services Coordinator Joe Parenteau said this morning that the
first fire, named the Thackeray Fire on the old Web Thackeray place and
burning east of Bear Paw Lake, started when lightning struck a hilltop
Tuesday night, starting a tree on fire. Pine cones were ignited and
rolled down the hill, causing it to spread, he said. http://www.havredailynews.com/cms/news/firefightersfightingtwoblazesinbearpaws.html
