Man quizzed over Florida wildfire

A man accused of lobbing a homemade firebomb into woods that are among the thousands of acres (hectares) that have burned along Florida's Atlantic coast has conceded that he may have accidentally sparked a fire.

But Brian Crowder, 31, said he tossed a cigarette, not a bottle full of flammable liquid, out of his car.

"I believe that I accidentally may have - may have - started by tossing a cigarette out the door," Crowder told a horde of reporters as he was being led in shackles by police.
