Kent Island Brush Fire May Have Been Caused By Marijuana

KENT ISLAND, Md. (WJZ) — We may know the cause of a massive seven-alarm brush fire that forced Marylanders from their homes. Investigators have linked the blaze to marijuana. At least 40 acres of woods and homes burned on Ken Island and authorities have been trying to pinpoint its origin ever since. Kai Jacksonhas more.
It took a lot of sweat and water to put out that fire. Now authorities say an illegal enterprise may be the cause.
Thick smoke and ash filled the skies of Kent Island in June as a raging brush fire burned about 48 acres of woods. At one point, it forced some 25 Queen Anne’s County residents from their homes.

Self igniting lol I dont think it can spontaneously combust. This sounds like a load of crap to me. It says "discarded marijuana" caused the fire but goes on to say they dont know how or who and then onl mentions a grow site. Sounds like they have no freaking clue what happened.
