A bobcat climbing a power pole was electrocuted and sparked a five-acre brush fire in California’s Ventura County. Officials said the bobcat was apparently chasing a bird when it touched the power lines, caught fire and fell to the ground in flames near Piru. The fire was reported at 3:36 a.m. Monday atop Torrey Peak. More than 40 firefighters extinguished the blaze about five hours later. No homes were threatened and no one was hurt. The bobcat’s charred body was found beneath the power lines.
