My father once talked to a one-legged man who admitted to having lost his leg by putting a heating bag (a bag filled with dry uncooked rice that is microwaved to pick up heat) on it. It just felt pleasantly warm, and he didn't find out until much later that it had been substantially hotter than that. He'd cooked his leg clean through, and the only thing they could do then was amputate it. Compared to that, a little thing like "great balls of fire" doesn't surprise me very much at all.

My guess is that this guy was drugged or drunk enough not to notice.
