A few years ago, while I was still a Volunteer fireman in Vestal, New York, we had a serious house fire cause by a microwave oven that came on by itself. The people were away and the whole house was engulfed by the time we arrived. Our investigators, along with some microwave experts, said that the whole room filled with heat then ignited.
Our department started a full scale investigation of the company (Not GE) (but I forget which one) and as a result, there was a recall of those units.
