A friend of mine has just had his shed burnt down,losing his motorbike,tools etc. After investigation by the Fire Inspector to ensure it was not arson or vandalism the problem was found to be a paper towel that was used to apply teak oil to his garden furniture.It appears that teak oil on paper or cloth is susceptible to spontaneous combustion when put in rubbish bins,particularly in hot weather.I was not aware of this fact and I hope this posting stops a major problem for somebody.
