PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — A Portland woman who wanted to warm up a cold can of spray paint put it in her oven.

KGW reports the can exploded Tuesday, shot out the oven door and through the kitchen ceiling.

Firefighters found it smoldering in the attic.

Firefighters reminded her to read the safety label; it’s a bad idea to heat products that are under pressure.
