2017-02-17 - Navigation buoy bursts into flame in coastal Herne Bay (Britain):
http://www.kentonline.co.uk/sheerness/news/rnli-crew-tackle-burning-buoy-120758/

Quote: "There was water, water, everywhere but it didn’t stop a navigation buoy from going up in flames in the middle of the sea. The Sheerness crew of the all-weather RNLI lifeboat the George and Ivy Swanson first thought they were racing to a boat on fire in a busy shipping lane of the Thames Estuary. But after a 16-mile dash they discovered the cause of the blaze was the Princess No 5 light buoy seven miles off Herne Bay near a wind farm."

Quote: "Lifeboat coxswain Robin Castle said: 'In all my years at sea and as lifeboat coxswain this was one of the most unusual calls I have ever attended. I have never heard of a buoy catching light before and can only assume it was caused by an electrical problem which is also strange because the light buoys are solar powered.' The emergency call came from the Coastguard at 5.20am on Thursday (Feb 16). The crew arrived on site at 6.12am to find buoy well alight."

2017-02-19 - Several pickup trucks and RV trailer destroyed by fire in Great Falls (Montana):
http://www.krtv.com/story/34543737/several-vehicles-damaged-in-fire-on-east-side-of-town

Quote: "Emergency crews responded to a trailer fire behind Sport City Cyclery on Sunday. Sand Coulee Volunteer Fire Chief Blake Brawley says they received reports of the fire shortly after 3 p.m. Brawley says a fifth-wheel trailer was fully engulfed in flames when firefighters arrived. Several pickup trucks and a power pole were also deemed a total loss due to damage from the fire."

Note: Things are getting mighty obvious. Also, just as more parked vehicles are going up in flames, the same is true of homes going up in flames with nobody there. Homes generally have all the same vulnerabilities as cars - electrified copper, rusty iron/steel, adsorbent flammable materials - so that makes sense. Expect that trend to continue and to worsen - more parked vehicles igniting and more unoccupied homes bursting into flame - at least for a while. Eventually there will be no more vehicles or homes left unburned and then no more vehicles or homes will burn - problem solved!

Quote: "A boat and car inside the shed were damaged but no one was injured. The damage bill was estimated at $300,000 and the cause traced to an overheating electrical item in the boat."

Note: So the URL was misleading and the boat fire wasn't arson. The other fire, a burning minibus, might not have been arson either for that matter, since I highly doubt they eliminated accidental causes like hydrogen sulfide's reactivity with copper, especially electrified copper. Wee hours, coastal city, vehicles going up in flames. These are the 155th, 156th, 157th and 158th boats/ships to burn/explode in 2017...
