What the???
A household, FLAT mirror, sparking a fire, in a house, at 8pm in the UK!!!??
What are these people smoking???
No concentration of the sunlight as from a parabolic mirror.
With the Sun shining with its lowest intensity at sunset by going through the greatest amount of atmosphere.
In a location on Earth when a hot SPRING day is maybe 18°, AT 1PM IN THE ARVO.
What were these curtains made of???
I have too much faith in fire inspectors to believe this story as being nothing more than craphouse journalism. It really smacks of a journalist that does not think for themself and is not used to questioning as they lack all logic and are used to believing everything they are spoon fed.
Bullcrap! is my gut feeling about this source of ignition. There is NO mention of a solar mirror. And again, how big would a "solar mirror" need to be to start a fire with all the above conditions???
