Okay, I know it sounds goofy but yeah, it really did happen. It was a pile of fresh shredded wood about 4 feet tall and about 25 feet around. It was dumped and then nobody had time to spread it and it was out in the hot sun for a few weeks. Then one day it began to smoke and one of the guys ran out and pulled some off the top and poof! we had a flame
. It went out pretty quicky but it sure was spooky. We all pitched in and soaked it down and pulled that thing apart toot sweet. It was the first time I'd actually seen it happen but I'd heard of it before. It won't be happening to me again.
Unfortunately, nobody thought to run for a camera so you'll just have to take my word for it!
