(July 18, 2008)--Minnesota fire investigators say a home was destroyed after a flowerpot spontaneously caught fire.

Authorities in Mendota Heights say spontaneous combustion can happen in pots with the right mixture of soil, moisture and heat.

The flowerpot had been on the deck in the high summertime temperatures.

Homeowner Dan Stoven says it's hard to believe, but he says he's just glad his 17-year-old daughter was able to escape with the help of some passers-by.
