Ignition source is flames, sparks, lit cigarettes, etc.. Dumbass. Tall grass in of itself is not a fire hazard. Maybe we should pave over all forest lands and remove the hazard completely? That'd be a great solution from your POV.

One of your criminal heros is getting what should be coming to him. Maybe he'll die in prison. CHICAGO - Conrad Black is returning to prison for at least another year to serve time for fraud and obstruction of justice. The U.S. judge who sentenced him on fraud convictions four years ago gave Black a 42-month term in a resentencing hearing today. Black's wife Barbara Amiel fainted when she heard the verdict. With 29 months already served, Black will be required to go back to prison for another 13 months. Medics came to attend to Amiel as Black and his lawyers worked out details with the court on when he must surrender himself. He is to present himself to prison authorities in about six weeks.
