It looked like they tried to get the bales of hay out of the truck that were on fire,(without the success they were hoping) and that’s what caught the hillside on fire.

Spontanious combustión?

Funny thing, they call it spontaneous, but it takes quite a while for wet hay or oily rags to heat up enough to combust. And they usually need to be contained to trap the heat. If they were driving, I think it’s more likely Jethro threw his cig but out the window, and it blew into the back.😜
