| Other problems reported were electric shocks, scorchings around sockets and broken light switches. |
| Such deliberate scorchings are a routine part of forest management, but foresters use them sparingly, for fear of losing control. |
| Green wood hardens after about four or five scorchings in the fire, but several scorchings are required to drive out the sap. |
| Ethiopic scorchings browned the upper slopes of the pastures, but there was still bright green herbage here where the watercourses purled. |
