They were in a clothes pile and buried, so I assume that there wasn't enough oxygen to start a fire. I will post pictures later, but be very careful where you store extra batteries. I was very worried about my home.
That would odd for it to do by itself. Sounds like the leads got shorted. Was there any metal or foil in the pocket?
