MORAGA (KRON) — Police believe a vape pen may be the cause of a fire in Moraga earlier this month that burned 40 acres and prompted overnight evacuations in a neighborhood.

The fire was first reported just before 1 a.m. on Oct. 10 on Merrill Circle North in Moraga.

Police confirmed Monday a vape pen was discovered in the area where the fire started.

The vape pen is a “possible cause of the fire,” according to Moraga’s chief of police.

The fire was last reported at 40 acres.

Residents were under mandatory evacuations as the fire burned.

Possible? Yes, but just because a mod was discovered there doesn't mean that it caused the fire. Everything and anything that happens is now going to be blamed on vaping!

Of course because monopolies die hard.

@Hooked I think the media sees cigarette fires as "old news" and nobody cares but with vaping they have a nice new "fresh" angle to report on due to all the negative vaping hype lately.

*yawn*
