No really, though, this one is pretty ridiculous.

I read the press release I just got from the Hudson Fire Department a little skeptically. A 2008 Toyota Tundra caught fire today near a home at 9B David Drive, about 1:49 p.m.

Firefighters found the truck fully involved, and eventually the gas tank failed and gas was introduced into the fire. Probably pretty intense to watch, but still just a car fire.

Until you get to the "most probably cause," as stated in the press release.

"It appears that two bags of wood shavings from a previous job the owner was at... spontaneously combusted..."

For the record, Hudson firefighters say the best way to store wood shavings is in a metal container, and that they should be disposed immediately, and soaked with a hose before disposal.

Hudson firefighters were busy today too. At 6:14 p.m., they went to 43 Lowell Road to put out a fire in "an upright pork cooker" at the Zheng Garden Restaurant,. It was a one-alarm fire that caused no injuries.

Firefighters say a lack of maintenance inside the pork cooker alloued the sauced used on pork ribs to build up to a point that allowed flames to be produced.
