An unlucky squirrel shorted out a high-voltage power line Monday morning in Redding, California and sparked a small brush fire after it fell into dry vegetation.

My city once saw a surreptitious squirrel who short-circuited a substation soon after six.

That sucked.

MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (AP) - Horry County firefighters have put out a blaze at a familiar address - 1 of their own fire stations.

Authorities say someone walking by the station on state Highway 905 reported the fire around 4:45 a.m. Wednesday.

Horry County Fire Rescue spokesman Todd Cartner says the station's firefighters are volunteers, and no one was inside at the time.

The building was damaged by the blaze, but firefighters were able to get a fire engine out before it burned.

Investigators are trying to determine what started the fire.

Too bad you didn't live in Sand Springs.

No, thank you. Sand Springs is singularly supplied with snakes.

Don't tell me. Claude Cooper, the criminal from Cleveland, moved there, had a sex change, and renamed herself Cicely Simpson.

I am hearing Mel Blanc do that thing where his sister's name is Sue, his name is Cy, and he answers everything with "Si."
