A middle-school student was treated for "moderate" burns after her iPhone caught on fire in her back pocket.
The incident occurred when the eighth-grade student first sat down in her classroom. According to accounts, the phone made a loud popping noise, after which her fellow students noticed smoke emitting from her back pocket.
Their first reaction was to have her stop, drop, and roll. The iPhone fell out of her pocket as the students tried to help, and that's when they noticed it was burnt.
