Description of the problem	I started the car and turned on the drivers side heated seat. I pulled out of my driveway and was driving down my street when i started to smell something burning. At first i thought it was coming from the engine so i immediately pulled over and checked the engine compartment. I didn't see anything so i got back in my car and started to drive again. The odor kept getting stronger and now the left side of my drivers side seat started to get really hot and then i felt a burning sensation on my back. I stopped my car and jumped out to see a small hole about the size of a nickel melting and a small orange flame burning. Luckily i had a bottle of water and poured it on the seat and then turned the seat heater off.
