Big Bear, CA - Fire officials have reportedly found parts of a catalytic converter along Highway 38 where several spot fires have broken out.
Scanner reports show they now believe the hot car part may be the cause of the fires and not the work of an arsonist.
A request for an arson investigator has been cancelled.

US Forest Service and San Bernardino County Fire are responding to the small blazes along the roadway and a Sheriff's Department helicopter is heading to the area to get a birdseye view of the area.
Forest Service officials have switched to a red tactics channel and Big Bear Fire has responded to several spot fires near the Senior Center.
