Quote: "One person was killed in a vehicle fire on Interstate 95 Thursday night south of the exit for MD 24, according to the Joppa-Magnolia Volunteer Fire Company.

The vehicle was a BMW truck/SUV that had one person inside, Maryland State Police told Bel Air Patch."

Quote: "With the help of a K-9 unit, deputy state fire marshals determined the fire began in the interior passenger department of the car and was 'incendiary in nature,' rather than accidental or resulting from an accidental or mechanical failure."

Note: Say, both methane and hydrogen sulfide, being flammable gases, are, by definition, 'incendiary'. Was it cloth-based upholstery in that car?
