Hand sanitizer, olive oil faulted in fire that burned 11-year-old girl

Hand sanitizer and olive oil fueled a fire that burned a young girl in a Portland hospital room. On Feb. 2, 11-year-old Ireland Lane ran out of her hospital room on fire. Her father and hospital staff managed to smother her to put out the flames, although she suffered burns on about 20 percent of her body. On Monday, a fire investigator said the fire was most likely sparked by static electricity that ignited Ireland’s shirt. Her shirt was saturated with alcohol-based hand sanitizer and olive oil, which helped the fire burn.
