Shot a local Golf Course here 4 day's ago (shot 50) off it. Fifteen of them I shot had barely any fur left, their fur had been burnt off and they had big scabs on their bodies that were slowly healing. Where the fire had been (2 weeks ago), there was real dry scrub and undergrowth on the boundary of the course that had caught fire.
The firemen and golf course workers who were fighting the fire at the time, couldn't sort of work out how the fire was spreading so quickly and in unusual places until I showed the green keeper's, when I shot the course what had happened to the rabbits. I have also seen this happen when we have the odd bush fire here with Opossums with their fur on fire leaping from tree to tree also causing fires to spread. The A.A. S 510. F.A.C. is still doing the business.

Re: Rabbits help spread fire
some years ago we had a large bonfire made up of hedge cuttings .
we left them for a few weeks , then set it a lite on a freezing cold day ,
the rabbits run out into the kale you could see the steam come off them.
too hot for my lurcher too pick them up .
