CALGARY, Alberta (Reuters) - A war on gophers waged by two Canadian men went awry this weekend when a device used to blast the rodents in their holes sparked a massive grass fire in a rural area....


The device pumps a mixture of propane and oxygen into gopher holes, which is then ignited, and, according to the manufacturer's Web site, the resulting blast creates a shock wave that kills the gopher and collapses its tunnel system.



After the men successfully used it eight times, the ninth time proved disastrous.

The explosion caused a grass fire that burnt 160 acres and destroyed some farm buildings. The damage bill came up to 197,000 dollars. Charges are pending for one of the men.
