Smoke containing human remains billowed out of a California crematorium Thursday when an oven door was stuck open while the furnace was in use. National City Fire Capt. Brian Krepps confirmed that crews were called to Cortez Cremations and Funeral Services shortly after noon to help close the oven door. Firefighters were able to shut the door and then helped the crematorium ventilate the building. No damage or flames outside of the oven were reported.Krepps confirmed human ashes were contained in the thick smoke that flooded out of the building, as well as a chemical fire suppression agent.

The author should spend some time in Japan. There was a crematorium on one side of MCAS Iwakuni and whenever the wind would shift, lots of folks got sick.

And in Richmond Virginia in 2014:

Cremation of Obese Man Sets Funeral Home on Fire

“Speaking to NBC12, Mr Hendrix said: “The body was so obese that the actual body fat came off and went straight up the sack and hit the roof material, the rubber roof we have up there and that’s what made it go up like it did…It was no negligence involved in it.””
