Tortilla Chips!
The Austin Fire Department said in a Facebook post that firefighters responded July 12 to a fire at a factory on Trade Center Drive and they arrived to find the fire had been caused by "spontaneous combustion of tortilla chips."
"The factory in question was trying out a new way to handle the waste from the chips that, suffice it to say, didn't work out so well," the department said. "The fire was confined to the exterior of the building and to multiple pallets of food waste, but large cardboard boxes of the same waste continued to ignite while we were on scene!"
I didn't realize tortilla chips could be so flammable. Perhaps it could explain the reason that consumers experience heartburn.
