Exploding cell phone

A group of Utah 911 dispatchers faced an emergency of their own this week when a Motorola cell phone overheated and exploded. Dispatcher Kris Munford’s V300 camera phone grew “red hot” just as she and her co-workers settled in for their 6 am shift on Sunday. The handset burned a hole in her jacket pocket, fell to the floor and exploded, Munford said, adding that burning parts landed as far as 10 feet away and smoke filled the room.
