Smoking + Pumping Gas = Ignition

Police said the woman was pumping gas at a Race Trac near the University of Central Florida when a cigarette butt sparked the fire.

Flames burned the gas pump and set her car on fire.

"The car is virtually ruined," a fire official at the scene said. "(It happened) just by doing something stupid by smoking while fueling her car."

Signs near the gas pump said "no smoking."

The woman will not be ticketed for the incident, Local 6 News reported.

---------------------------------

Luckily this lady was not harmed BY THE FIRE SHE STARTED BY PUMPING GAS WHILE SMOKING A CIGARETTE! But what are the chances of this happening. They say no smoking but you really don't believe it until you're on fire.
