The responding officer learned that the owners of a horse stable had been storing the manure in large piles that frequently spontaneously combusted in the excessive heat and dry conditions. Officials say a shift in the prevailing winds carried the odor of burning manure into the neighbors' windows.

Will someone create an app for that?
