Like Atlas gloves being too hot.
I heard a story about a municipal chip dump pile for a huge storm. They had a huge pile. It lit up. They thought it would take two to three days to deal with, but was still hot after a month, or sumthin' like that. A fourth hand story.
Once we had a stump catch fire on a forestry job. The stump hadn't been cut on, just old and dead. Oh, the supervisor chain smoked cigarettes.
I've never heard of small piles catching on fire, but it could happen. A butt flicked into the box, then given wind from driving??? Still sounds...
