    From the comments, because I needed to know:

    “This happened in Dos Hermanas, Spain, to a company called Alueuropa SA. The fire was relatively small, all things considered, and only a portion of one of 8 warehouses got burnt. No one was injured.”

    So we can appreciate the spectacular fire and the excellent CCTV.

    Eight seconds, the liquid is on fire.

    Twelve seconds, the machine is on fire.

    Twenty seconds, the ceiling is on fire.

    Thirty-five seconds, the ceiling is on the control station, on fire.

    Thirty-eight seconds, the air is on fire.

    Forty-three seconds, the fire is on fire.

      Oh yeah it’s not far from being motor oil. Which is also flammable when aerosolized.

      It probably would not have been a serious issue if they hadn’t opted for the flammable ceiling tiles.

      Anything can be flammable under the right conditions.
