ARLINGTON – The sudden heat wave has brought something more menacing than sunburns and higher electric bills. The latest sign of summer just might be spontaneous combustion.

Arlington schools Superintendent Mac Bernd announced Monday that he would replace all the "engineered wood fiber" material on the district's playgrounds after one burst into flames last week. A review of footage from a surveillance camera determined that no one was around to start the fire – either accidentally or intentionally.

FWOOSH!

Ouch, that's hot.

Note to self. Turn compost pile more often.


Second Note To Self. Remember that you don't have a compost pile.

Does this mean the wood has a Charismatic theology . . . ?

What is "engineered wood fiber"? Is that like synthetic metamucil?
