My toaster caught on fire! Sorry, no news at 11:00 or link to a news story.

I was toasting a slice of sourdough bread and the toast was done. I had
just taken it out of the slot with when flames burst up!

I quickly unplugged the toaster and grabbed a box of baking soda from
the cupboard. I doused the flames.

I have NO idea why the toaster suddenly caught on fire. I keep the
crumb-tray clean and empty. It was a 10 year old toaster but that's no
excuse.

Good thing I never toast bread without standing there waiting for it.
