My air fryer almost caught fire last Tuesday - here's what happened

I was making chicken wings at 400 degrees and left it running while I went to check on laundry. Came back 15 minutes later and smoke was pouring out of the vents. Opened it up and the parchment paper I had under the wings had completely ignited. The paper was touching the heating element and I never even thought about it. Has anyone else had this scare with parchment paper or liners in their air fryer?

Yeah parchment is a fire risk over 400 degrees.

Read somewhere that parchment can't handle high heat like that.
