Burning wasp sets attic on fire

In a freak chain of events, a burning wasp triggered a fire in the attic of a house in an eastern German town, police reported on Wednesday. Police in the town of Drebach said a roofing worker was set on by a swarm of wasps. To protect himself, he used his blow torch against the insects, setting one of the wasps on fire.
