Spontaneous combustion

As I left the gym on Sunday, I smelled smoke... I looked around and there was a curl of smoke rising from the flowerbed. It wasn't a discarded cigarette or anything like that, the mulch in the flowerbed was burning.
I tried stepping on it but it wouldn't go out. In fact, stepping on it seemed to spread it.
I went back into the gym to tell them that they needed to send someone with a bucket of water to put it out and the woman at the desk said in exasperated tones "but I already did that twice today!"
