A 27-year-old Joliet woman suffered second-degree burns after using a cigarette lighter to see how much gas was in the can she was filling. "You can't fix stupid."

"(The woman) was filling up a gas can, which was sitting on the passenger seat of the car. (She) then used a lighter to use as a light to observe how full the can was," police said. I am surprised she didn't try using the gasoline in the can to put the fire out.

Firefighters reported the Chevrolet was "approximately five feet from the pumps and fully involved" when they arrived. Poor old Chevy. I hope they can fix it.
To: KeyLargo
the victim began to push the burning car. This is known as: "compounding the fail".

I give her a little credit for pushing the car away from the pump.
Just suprised she did not try to put out the far by pouring her bottle of Vodka on it...

As mayor, Ralph Perk became the subject of national ridicule on October 16, 1972, when he accidentally set his hair on fire while he attempted to use a welder’s torch for a ribbon-cutting ceremony for a convention in Cleveland [1]

Obviously,her burns would be treated under HR 3200,since she
has to be a democrat!

We’ve all done a stupid thing or two and gotten away with it at least one time.
Points off for the lighter, but she gets a point for trying to move her burning car from the pumps.

I've heard people here in North Carolina call a fire a "far" off and on for years! We've gotta watch out for those forest fars, ya know. ;)

"(The woman) was filling up a gas can, which was sitting on the passenger seat of the car. (She) then used a lighter to use as a light to observe how full the can was," police said.Incredibly dumb. "Gimme a match, I think my gas tank is empty..." was a joke when we were kids.
The can ignited from the lighter's flame and the resulting explosion also set the vehicle's interior ablaze.
Nope, the gasoline vapors ignited, which is why she got in trouble to begin with...
Apparently fearful the fire could spread to the fuel pump she was using, the victim began to push the burning car.
Either a brave and selfless act or derived of fear of liability, but either way an act of repentance.
I pray she heals quickly and well and learns from her pain...
