In reply to the discussion: Idiot in Hummer filled 5 gas cans expecting shortages. Put them in his car and lit up a cigarette [View all]ProfessorGAC
(77,752 posts)17. Brings Up A Funny Story
We were playing a big club west of us about 60 miles.
After the first set, the other singer/guitarist went out to the truck to do a couple one hitters in the back of it.
He goes out, comes running back in, hollering"9-1-1!". Goes to stage, grabs one of our fire extinguishers. I grab another and follow him. (We carried 6, as we did pyro in the show.)
By the time we got out there, it was way beyond what extinguishers could do.
I run in, tell soundman to open mike & i start yelling that people parked at the south end better get out there & move their cars.
The funny part? The vehicle that self-immolated was a BLAZER!
Go figure!

OP
Hopefully, his insurance company is smarter than people who repeat unverified claims

One injured but well enough to refuse advice to be transported. Thank goodness.

The gas cans and fictional reddit cigarette had nothing to do with the fire...
