IN WHAT IS BECOMING A MONTHLY FEATURE ON FIREGEEZER, another fire erupted at a self-serve gas pump last night. This time it was in Versailles, Kentucky, when a Darwin-nominee left his car running and then slid out of the driver’s seat without grounding himself.
As you will see in the video, his static charge ignited the vapors after he repeatedly got into and out of his car several times:
“The fumes from the gas where it was being pumped into the car were ignited by a source of ignition: some kind of spark or something,” said Versailles Deputy Fire Chief Winfrey Adkins.
