It's likely a root fire spreading underground. I have been on many such fires and they really suck because you never know where they are going to pop up, usually from inside of an old dead or dying tree.

Your explanation is also plausible.

It’s very rare, but yes, it happens where entire coal seams have been on fire for decades within the US.
