How do dish towels spontaneously combust?
When used with solvents and not properly disposed of or properly stored in an airtight container.
when used for cleaning up meth spills lol
This was a result of what 10:13 describes. Someone didn't do what they were supposed to do with solvent-laden rags or cloths. A cloud of solvent vapor surrounded the rags, just waiting for ignition.
I wonder if the towels had intended to catch fire?
