The product, in the report: X-Tronic MODEL 5040-XR3 All In One Hot Air Rework Soldering Iron Station With Preheater.
While in use the soldering iron base station caught fire. There was an electrical burning sound and then flames shot out the side of the unit and continued to burn until I unplugged the unit. Once unplugged I looked through the holes for cooling and could see flames inside the unit. I took the unit outside till the flames went out and the unit cooled down.
