Fire investigators are pinning several recent spot fires near Seeley Lake on an unlikely group of arsonists - squirrels.
A man reported the wildfires last Wednesday afternoon outside his home on Montana Highway 83, moments after turning the ignition key on his RV.
Unbeknownst to the driver, a local colony of gray squirrels had been stowing pine cones in the vehicle's exhaust pipe, and the loaded tailpipe began blasting fiery cones across his driveway like a Roman candle, igniting a handful of small grass fires.

This is merely the first wave. Note the appearance of innocence by using the heat of a car's exhuast to ignite their deadly projectiles. Soon, there will be no need to maintain this facade, and they will use their superheated tails to light them directly.
Don't say i didn't warn you...
