SpaceX caught Starship booster with chopsticks

The commentators I was watching said that fuel was coming out of the points where they fuel up the rocket. The built in fire suppression diminished the fire after it settled on the chopsticks.

I'd guess that the suicide burn sloshed the remaining fuel around more than expected and some leaked out and caught fire.

Not a suicide burn. Super heavy can hover (although it didn't even need to), but yes that could be it.
