Um, no. They’re called “burners” because it’s well-known that they can start a fire. Direct quote from police officer:

Friday afternoon, Modesto police officer Chris Adams insisted that SWAT teams did nothing that would have started the blaze.

He said there are two types of tear gas cannisters police use. One is an incendiary cannister called a “burner,” which can start a fire, Adams said. The department doesn’t deploy burners; it only uses nonincendiary cannisters.
