> Fire Authorities in California found a corpse in a burnt out section of

> mask.  A post-mortem examination revealed that the person died not from
> burns but from massive internal injuries. Dental records provided a positive
> identification.

>  Investigators then set about determining how a fully clad diver ended up
>  in the middle of a forest fire.  It was revealed that, on the day of the
> fire, the person went for a diving trip off the coast--some 20 kilometers
> away from the forest. The firefighters, seeking to control the fire as
> quickly as possible, called in a fleet of helicopters with very large
> buckets. The buckets  were dropped into the ocean for rapid filling, then
> flown to the forest fire and emptied.
