Fresno firefighters said a man who lived there was injured when his mattress caught fire. But investigators said the fire started when the victim tried to open a bag of potato chips by lighting the bag on fire.
"Most people may not be aware but regular type potato chips they ignite very easily and very rapidly because of the oils," said Don Macalpine, Fresno Fire.
At this point, there is no word on the victim's condition.
Five other residents were displaced by the fire, but on- staff management was able to get them back into the building.
