[shocked][font "Pristina"][green][size 4]"Firefighters are battling a wildfire along the Owens River south of Chalk Bluffs Road northeast of Bishop, but officials here in Bishop have praised the three fishermen from Orange County who accidentally set the blaze. Well, OK, praise might be a stretch, but the three men made the fire investigators' job much easier by turning themselves in at the Bishop Police Department after their camp stove was knocked over by high winds and ignited the fire Sunday afternoon. More than 1,200 acres had burned by Monday night."[/size][/green][/font]
