Narrative

All evidence indicates that a bird got into a 34,500 kV overhead power line near the West Decker prill silos. The resulting incineration of the bird resulted in approximately 50 acres of native rangeland being burned. Other than 2 power poles being charred, no structures or equipment were near the fire.
