Porter cable orbital sander caught fire

So I bought a new porter cable orbital sander today and was sanding my tabletop between coats of polyurethane. I picked it up and the dust extraction bag was starting to smoke pretty good. By the time I got there the bag was just starting to flame up. I got it put out. I grabbed some sandpaper and started sanding the edges of the table by hand. I looked at my new sander and noticed it was smoking.
