JACKSON, Wyo. -- A cigarette pitched down a ski area toilet is the suspected cause of an underground fire that took several hours to put out.

Plastic fixtures melted in the mid-mountain men's room at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, but the flames did not reach out of the toilet Monday.

"It was too hot to be sitting on the toilet, that's for sure," Teton Village Fire Chief Watt Hyer said.

The fire smoldered overnight before ski patrollers tried to put it out by dumping snow down the toilet. Firefighters arrived around 10 a.m. and began skiing 5-gallon jugs of water down to the bathroom, which can only be reached on skis or by snow machines. The fire was extinguished by 2 p.m.
