It happened July 12 at 6110 Trade Center Drive. AFD says the factory was trying out a new blend of chips that "didn't work out so well." That fire was contained to the exterior of the building, and ignited several other boxes of food waste.
Then, three days later, additional boxes of the same tortilla chips spontaneously ignited again. Firefighters contained that fire and drowned all of the other boxes that had yet to catch fire.

I only allowed the adults to handle the white gas. My biggest fear was one of the kids getting the bright idea of using it to start the fire. Now, diesel fuel and a roll of toilet paper.....
