It was succubus fire clothing somehow being created on a dwarf.... lol.  I think LMeire figured it out over in another post.

Update on this topic, Amostubal. Apparently migrants can do this too, at least on v1.25. Some guy's new cheese maker walked up to his fortress, made it to the gates, and suddenly lit on fire, having worn a liquid fire shirt all the way there and having felt no reason to take it off at any point in the interim.
Just wanted you to be aware that it's not just at embark that this needs to get checked for if/when you/someone fix it.

Okay so apparently for some reason liquid clothes are appearing on non succubus units!?!?  Talk about !!science!!  I'll ask succubus creator boltgun(dang phone autocorrect) to look into it since it's his stuff, maybe he made a recent change that affects were they can be produced... I don't know why it is suddenly now doing this.

If anyone comes across this again and have a save point prior to it happening, please zip your data\save\region folder and post it somewhere... I want to inspect this liquid fire object.... trying to figure out how dwarves are getting it... but I don't see any way for it to be available to dwarves.
