The sense of coincidence is ... striking. I saw my very first roadside fire yesterday while commuting home. There's an oleander hedge in the thin median of the Foothill Expressway. Traffic was pretty chewy. I saw what looked like a semi exhaust plume coming from behind the hedge. But it wasn't moving! When I drove by, the bottom of the hedge was on fire - flames had grown to about the size of a desk. Well I kept going (lotsa traffic - wouldn't wanna be a bunghole) and made my turnoff. the plume in my rear view mirror was somewhat bigger. I wasn't real worried - the hedge was four feet thick, surrounded by asphalt on both sides and (the clincher) within 300 yards of the local firehouse. traffic was heavy again on the way in this morning. y'know, I couldn't find the black spot during a 50mph pass. And then I had to mind the minitruckthing lurching in front of me.
