We kept seeing small grass fires on the side of the interstate every few miles. My Firemen friends made the comment "pretty soon we'll find the guy pulling the trailer up ahead on the side of the road with a bad wheel bearing that got the balls in the bearing so hot that when they escaped the bearing they caught the grass on fire". Sure enough, we ran across the guy with the broken down trailer.
