Sounds more likely to have been caused by flatulence after a vindaloo, to me.

There have certainly been textiles manufactured in the past which were prone to catching fire, and some it is reckoned, have been the underlying cause of things like 'Spontaneous Human Combustion' reported in France well over a century ago.
These incidents involved usually wealthy people 'Igniting' and as a consequence of their death, relatives getting their claws on their money. The cause, was an early nitro-cellulose based fabric, which was highly flammable ... The relatives would give clothes made of this material to their victims and then by various devious means, ensured a spark off an open fire, someone smoking a pipe or cigarette, came into contact with the material. Eventually the cause was uncovered and the fabric was banned.
