I doubt the story is true but funny. Pretty much anything can catch fire. I had a TV remote catch fire once. I didn't see a flame but it was smoking like a mofo so I grabbed it and hit the batteries out of it onto the table. It smoldered for a bit and never worked again. I'm sure it would have flamed up if there was anything more than plastic rubber and PCB.
