I went to a hardware store yesterday and had a smoke in the parking lot before going in.. I had multiple items to pick up and also wandered and eventually came out after 40 or so mins.. when I came out I saw a fire truck and firemen trying to douse a fire in a curbside mulch which was smoking.. when I was walking to my car I realized it was the same mulch area where I threw my cigarette bud.. I swear I extinguished it like I always have for the past 2 decades .. my mind and body is so habitual to extinguishing a cigarette bud that many times I've burnt my feet when I was smoking bare foot .. but maybe there was a spark left and due to drought conditions in my state the mulch could have been very dry and caught fire.. thankfully someone called the fire station and things were controlled before any minor or major damage TL;DR: Didnt extinguish a cigarette bud properly, caused a fire
