IRVINE, Calif. (September 1, 2010)--A golfer whose off-target swing sparked a 12-acre wildfire in Southern California won’t be charged and won’t be named.
The golfer at the Shady Canyon Golf Course in Irvine landed a shot in the rough Saturday.
On his next swing, his club snagged a rock, causing a spark that ignited the rough.
Fire officials say the fire burned through the rough, into vegetation next to the course and over two dry, brushy hillsides.
It took about 150 firefighters to bring it under control.
