Apparently, land can spontaneously combust underground. A 2-acre area in Los Padres National Forest in California is smokin'-hot!!! Literally.Geologists theorize that this may be caused by oxygen seeping into the ground to party with hydrocarbons trying to escape from underground pockets of oil, gas, and tar... Must be one helluva shindig.
Firefighters said there's no fire present and that the area doesn't pose a threat to others, but don't most things start igniting below 500 degrees Celcius?
