We just picked up some chicken and fries at Steak-N-Shake. On our way out of the drive-through, I noticed a small plume of smoke rising from the parking lot of the Extended Stay America hotel in the next parking lot over. We drove over, I got out, went into the office, and told the guy about it. By the time we got out, there were small flames in the bark chips. He was able to put it out with his feet.
The morals of the story: 1) don't throw your cigarette butts into the bushes, and 2) be careful not to do your good deeds when there's no-one watching you.
