What Caused A String Of Sushi Restaurant Fires?

Description

Seven fires at sushi restaurants in the US were caused by spontaneously combusting tempura flakes, investigators have found. A reaction between oxygen and oils used in tempura batter caused fires in five Wisconsin restaurants. There were also fires in Minnesota, Virginia, and even Canada. A fire investigator told ABC News: "The oil will combine with the oxygen in the air and in that chemical process, it releases heat." The tempura flakes are also known as "crunch," or "tenkasu" in Japanese.
