Man decides to clean with gasoline while smoking (http://www.miamiherald.com/news/weird-news/story/988873.html)
CHILTON, Wis. -- A man faces an arson charge after telling authorities he wasn't thinking when he decided to use gasoline for cleaning up his apartment, and then tossed a lit cigarette into a pile of gas-soaked cushions and clothes. A criminal complaint filed Monday quoted a 47-year-old man as saying he knew gasoline is flammable and never should have used it.
The complaint said that when the fire began Friday, he didn't pull the fire alarm but instead shouted "fire" a couple times and walked to the Menasha police department for an ambulance to take him to the hospital where he was treated for burns.
Firefighters said the blaze extensively damaged the apartment and caused heavy smoke damage throughout the building, putting tenants of 11 other units out of their homes.

Yep....sure sounds like an accident. :whatever:

I've used gas for cleaning before, but it was outside and I used to clean tools and my hands after doing some car work. I think this clown messed up when he didn't set off the alarm.

He should sue whoever made the gasoline for making the fumes so flamable. I mean, really. The gasoline isn't flamable. Why are the fumes?

He should also sue the cigarette company for making a product that is flammable. Only an arsonist would toss a cigarette butt onto rags and cushions even without the gas on them.

If he really didn't know any better, he should be locked up for stupidity. There should be a new law against being dangerously stupid. lol.

Most of the DUmp would be in violation . . .

This happens frequently here also -- people use gasoline to strip floors. Gas stoves ignite the fumes and house fire.
Not very bright.
