Before arriving in Shirdi, Sai Baba demonstrated a miraculous ability related to fire. What were the circumstances of this event?

The introductory chapter of the Sai Satcharitra, Chapter 0, recounts a miraculous event involving fire. After Maharaj helped Chandbhai find his lost horse in the forest, he prepared his chillum to smoke. The text explicitly states that there was no fire available in the forest at that moment. To solve this, Maharaj simply struck his tongs on the ground, and from that spot, he miraculously produced fire to light his chillum. This occurred just before he agreed to visit Chandbhai's house, which ultimately led to his journey to Shirdi.
