Drivers side seat heating pad malfunctioned by burning its wire, which is a heating component. Occurrence caused a fire inside a seat that have burned a part of heating pad itself (heating pad appears to be made out of flammable material) and some of the seat foam stuffing (again appears to be flammable as well).
