Get out of the seat. Turn off the seat heater. Get a fire extinguisher ready just in case. Go to your nearest Mini dealer and have it fixed. (assuming of course that your car is under warranty.)

I would file a safety complaint. This has 'accident waiting to happen' written all over it. If enough people complain, it could result in a recall.

This also just happened to me on the back of the lumbar support of the driver's seat.
My local dealer basically said "electrical fires happen" and wasn't willing to help cover the repair and because I'm way out of warranty didn't think MINI would do any thing about it either.
I don't think it's reasonable to expect a car to have an electrical fire when it's 8 years old. This is a design flaw - lots of other cars made by BMW have the same problem - just do a quick search.
I'm definitely filing a complaint.
