That relates well to the sugar factory explosion last week.  I haven't
seen any details.  My bet is that it was sugar dust hitting an
ignition source.  (most folks don't think of sugar as being a
flammable hydrocarbon).  I have even heard of folks trying to put out
grease fires by throwing in sugar, with disastrous results.  Water,
flour are also bad news.  Salt does work.
