http://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/bangalore/fire-on-bellandur-lake/article7215310.ece
Quote: "Never did the people of Bengaluru imagine that they would see a day when their lakes would be on fire. While the lakes in the city are under a constant threat due to encroachment, the Bellandur lake on Friday night was seen to be on fire."
Quote: "Utterly puzzled by the phenomena Siddaramaiah, Regional Officer (Bommanahalli division) of the Karnataka State Pollution Control Board (KSPCB), said this was the first time in the city that froth or debris on top of the lake was reported to have instantaneously combusted."
Quote: "There is a layer of oil and froth in the lake due to the discharge of effluents from nearby industries. This has led to the accumulation of methane gas, which is very combustible. We believe that it is the methane which caught fire..."
Note: The Meiyu Rver caught fire in coastal Wenzhou (China) too, mentioned in the 2014-03-08 update. And of course lots of people have reported flammable tapwater in recent years due to methane contaminating their water supply. I knew when we saw that river on fire in China that we'd be seeing more instances of bodies of water igniting. Here we go. There's a huge methane clathrate deposit dissociating off the US East Coast (and others elsewhere around the world). Could the OCEANS ignite? It seems quite possible, and if that happens then those fires may be unextinguishable for decades or hundreds of years or more...

Note: They say arson but A) they haven't eliminated accidental causes, as competent investigators would; and B) they don't mention any evidence of arson. Saying something is arson doesn't make it arson. It sounds like they're just assuming arson because they were parked vehicles, and if that's the case then they're oblivious to the world around them and have completely overlooked the thousands of other incidents where vehicles have spontaneously ignited in recent times, especially in the wee hours...

Quote: "This morning, Briggs and other neighbors stood outside, looking at the burned-out home enclosed by yellow crime scene tape. Inside the carport was a vehicle that was burned down to the metal frame."
Note: I bet that pickup is where the fire began, and if that's the case then it was the woman's own vehicle that killed her. It's increasingly dangerous to park a vehicle near your residence because they can spontaneously ignite at any time now...

http://www.bexleytimes.co.uk/news/dozens_evacuated_after_hotel_car_park_fire_1_4078821
Note: Hydrogen sulfide is reactive with rusty iron/steel and copper, especially electrified copper. It's also a heavier-than-air gas, so it tends to seek out low-lying areas, like underground facilities and areas, so the last couple of years has seen a rise in underground fires and explosions, and that's going to get much worse. Vehicles also contain rust and electrified copper, so vehicles are also spontaneously igniting all over the place, sometimes killing people...

2015-05-18 - Landfills now regularly burning in coastal Mumbai (India):
http://scroll.in/article/728135/why-are-fires-breaking-out-in-mumbais-garbage-dumping-grounds
Quote: "Mumbai’s garbage dumping grounds frequently make headlines for unpleasant reasons. For the past two and a half months, the reason has been fire. Since the end of February, at least four separate blazes have been reported from the massive dumping grounds in the eastern suburbs, posing health risks for already irate residents."
Note: They'll stop burning once everything that can burn has burned. Numerous ships have burned in or near Mumbai in the last two years, including one aircraft carrier, and one submarine exploded and burned and killed everyone aboard while docked in Mumbai too. From the full hypothesis: "Trash-related facilities such as recycling centers and landfills will burn hard too, as hydrogen sulfide is absorbed into flammable absorbent materials like wood, paper, cardboard, straw, hay, dried brush, generic trash, clothing, cotton, wool."

Quote: "'We don’t think that the clothing that this person was wearing would be enough to set him on fire,' said LAPD Capt. George Rodriguez."
Note: That depends on what flammable gases have contaminated the clothes. A homeless man covered in 'unknown chemicals' entered a hospital in coastal Dunedin (Florida) in 2012 and attendants there immediately started sickening, so they evacuated, mentioned in the 2012-06-19 update. If it's hydrogen sulfide (as was probably the case with that homeless man) then there may be an odor. You won't smell methane if it contaminates your clothing or car upholstery or whatnot though, because it's odorless. Then you light a cigarette, or static electricity pops as your clothes rub, or you ignite a burner on your stove to cook dinner, and whoosh, you go up in flames and burn to death. Wee hours, on the coast, outdoors, man burns to death. Homeless people are in the greatest danger because A) they spend most of their time outdoors; and B) they tend to sleep on the ground and hydrogen sulfide (which is far more deadly and flammable than methane and burns hotter too) is a heavier-than-air gas...

2015-05-27 - Pier destroyed by fire at Crystal Lake in coastal Lady's Island (South Carolina):
http://www.islandpacket.com/2015/05/27/3767248_investigation-continues-into-suspected.html
Quote: "The way the fire started -- out over the water, working its way back toward the boardwalk -- makes it difficult to identify a cause or a possible accelerant used to keep the fire going..."
Note: Looks like a small version of some of the huge boardwalk fires that have occurred in the last year or so...
Quote: "The larger 2-inch by 6-inch planks that made up the pier would require significant heat to catch fire, Harris added."
Note: Methane burns hot and hydrogen sulfide burns even hotter, more than 1700 degrees Fahrenheit, hot enough to melt steel, so igniting some treated wood would be no problem whatsoever. And from the pic, there's some metal mesh on that pier. If that's steel, or if it's held to the pier with steel nails or something, then there's some rust and that might be the ignition source, as hydrogen sulfide can ignite in the presence of rust, no other ignition source necessary. Rust-ignited fires will look like arson because fire investigators aren't aware of the rust-ignition problem, so what cause could they imagine other than arson?
