Princeton RCMP said a quartet were riding ATVs near Coalmont Sunday evening when one of the vehicles caught fire, and flames rapidly spread near the viallage. [sic]

I feel like ATVs don't just catch on fire or is it just me? Seems more likely the brush ignited due to exhaust pipes or something

I would guess so as well, considering most people (myself included until a few years ago) are unaware that combustion engines create so much heat that can easily happen in the right conditions.
