Torrington, Connecticut: An accidental fire in the wood shop of the Oliver Wolcott Technical School resulted in a hole in the roof Monday. It was caused by the spontaneous combustion of a pile of rags used to stain toolboxes that students had built, the Fire Marshall said. The rags were laying on a wooden table that burned before the fire went to the roof... ... Students who left the pile of rags likely will not be disciplined...
Geesh! Pretty scary...

Sounds like it's the teacher who should be, though. It's not like this is a new phenomenon.

Never happens to acetone soaked rags either. You don't need to ground them.
