'It might be difficult for the owners to identify the boats that are theirs because of the extent of the damage to them,' says Tom Boisvert, the Lake Monticello police chief. 'They're totally destroyed.'"

Quote: "Three people are hurt, including a Wichita Police officer, after a fire at a restaurant in N. Wichita late Friday. An officer on patrol saw a woman, on fire, running from Rostizeria Los Reyes restaurant in the 500 block of W. 21st Street at around 9:00 p.m. The officer stopped and helped pat the fire out with his hands. The woman then said that her sister was inside the business, also on fire. The officer tried to get into the business, but the doors were locked. He then broke out a window to get inside. There, he found another woman who was also on fire."
Quote: "The cause of the fire is unknown at this time. The only damage to the business was the broken door."
Note: So the business wasn't burned at all. It was just the women who ignited. If that cop hadn't shown up though then this might have been just another restaurant fire, albeit with two fatalities, and nobody would have known that the fire began with the two women igniting. I'm sure that's happening regularly now - a person ignites at home then runs around dying and on fire, and then later it's reported as a house fire with a fatality and nobody ever knows that the fire began with a person inside the home igniting. Methane is odorless and it will contaminate adsorbent material, like clothing and hair. People will unknowningly become highly flammable then burn to death after spontaneously combusting, or igniting from proximity to a flame, or static electricity, or a spark from an electronic device like a cellphone, etc...
