The dreadful Eyre Peninsula bushfires of 2005 which trapped a town and killed 9 were apparently started by the backfiring or hot exhaust pipe of an old truck belonging to a local prospector.
It is also said that this same prospector lost his home in the more recent bushfires which again swept through parts of the Eyre Peninsula.
