Police are searching for an arson suspect who accidentally set himself on fire in Riverside County earlier this week.

Firefighters were called to a reported vehicle fire on the 900 block of Wakefield Avenue in Corona during the early morning hours Tuesday, the Corona Fire Department posted on Instagram.

Arriving crews found the vehicle still burning in the front yard of a home. “The fire destroyed the vehicle and caused moderate damage to the residence,” the Fire Department said.

The suspect then also caught fire when it burst into flames.

So he didn’t accidentally set himself ablaze. It was a workplace injury.

As funny as the arseole who set himself on fire while trying to chuck a Moltov at coppers while his Antif/BLM friends were rioting.

Amazing how many people out there think gasoline is the same as lighter fluid. I learned that lesson the hard way as well when I was around 12 I poured what I thought was a little bit of gasoline on a tree stump and threw a match on it and WHOOOMP like magic I had a new very short hairstyle, no eyebrows and a shrunken tee shirt!!

Serves him right.

He’ll be caught when he ends up going for medical treatment for the severe burns.

Uncontained gasoline generates lots of flammable vapors very quickly and spreads quickly. You can't see it and a lot of people don't associate the fact that if you can smell it, it's already formed a potentially explosive cloud. That's why people shouldn't smoke while fueling their vehicles or even get in and out of their vehicle and not grounding themselves before removing the nozzle. it's not the gasoline that will get you, but the volatile vapors they generate.

It's very interesting to watch a pool of gasoline burning. All the flame is above the gasoline itself. It's not the gasoline that's burning, It's the vapors that it constantly puts out.

...I learned that lesson the hard way as well...

I poured gasoline down some ant colony entrances and then lit 'er up. Pretty much everything in a twenty foot radius tasted the fumes of victory, including me.
