Surveillance video showed that nobody was around to start the fire at an elementary school playground last week, officials said. The fire melted the plastic and metal equipment, causing $35,000 in damage.

this is sorta like the manure pile in our barnyard in winter .... we have had it catch on fire randomly before because of the methane buildup ... you can go out in -20 degree weather and poke in the middle of the pile and its like 90 degrees
