Are any kids missing? Maybe this was a case of Spontaneous Human Combustion. You just never know...

Someone probably walked by and flicked a cigarette into the wood chips.

I think the video camera would've caught a person on film!;)

But not a cigarette butt as Anime said... how about a rogue Este toy rocket engine? Heck when we were kids we made smoke bombs by mixing sugar and salt peter wrapped in foil. We used cigarettes as time delay fuses by poking a hole near the butt to stick the fuse into. boy did I have phun back when it was spelled fun!! :D

I have a relative who said his car spontaneously combusted in his garage one summer. He's a shady character so I didn't believe it, but who knows I guess it does happen!:rolleyes:

Cars do not spontaneously combust. Humans spontaneously combust.

Thanks for grossing me out!! I'm surprised this doesn't happen more often here in the South!:eek:

Spontaneous Human Combustion (SHC) is a complete mystery. I once saw a man and his wife on TV who experienced an SHC. They were both in the kitchen and the wife was chopping food veggies at her counter. The husband was at the table reading the paper. The wife starting complaining about a sharp pain suddenly on her back near her shoulder.

It became so painful, she jerked her own shirt off. The husband ran to her and saw a burn coming up in her skin and the smell of burning flesh was in the air. The husband put her into a cool bath and it stopped, but they were pretty shaken up.
