I seen him crawl under his Stanleys Steamers and light them. They then to burp flames if the fuel pressure is too high. His Dobles and White steamers didn’t seam to have such a dangerous lighting procedure. Probably loss some eyebrows.

My Bonnie looked into a gas tank,
The height of its contents to see!
She lit a small match to assist her,
Oh, bring back my Bonnie to me.

Something about my trying to post links from my phone never works. If you just cut and paste the text of the url (which is why I always post it) the article comes up.

Not likely. Sources say it was a gasoline fire. And I’ll bet that with all his very rare cars, he wouldn’t risk putting a fire hazard car in the same building.

It was a gasoline flash fire or we would be reading how his collection was destroyed by an EV fire.

He’s always working on car stuff. Lots of old cars. He loves to.
So yeah, probably just some bad luck.

I had a fuel line on my 67 Camaro 6-cyl start leaking gas all over the exhaust manifold. By some good luck it did not catch fire.

I had a 73 wagon go up on me but it was my fault.

Distributer in backwards caused the carb backfire and released the fuel line.

Good times.

Unfortunately for FR’s “EVs cause every fire” cult it was a gasoline fire according to Jay:

Leno said in a statement: “I got some serious burns from a gasoline fire. I am ok. Just need a week or two to get back on my feet.”

“He has some real old cars. Some of then are unconventional to say the least, and carry a lot of danger.”

The occasional explosion of a boiler being one such risk. Leno owns a 1906 Stanley Steamer.
