In a bizarre incident that serves as a warning about the dangers of failing to follow safety protocols, a man from Florida filled his Hummer with four 5-gallon gasoline containers and then lit a cigarette, causing the Hummer to burst into flames. The man narrowly escaped the inferno but suffered burns on his upper body and was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment.
The incident occurred in the early hours of the morning at a gas station in Florida. Security footage from the gas station shows the man parking his Hummer H2 next to the gasoline pumps and then getting out of his vehicle to fill up his car with gas cans. He then proceeds to smoke a cigarette while standing next to the cans.
Suddenly, a spark ignites the gasoline vapor, and flames burst out of the containers, engulfing the car and the gas pumps. Passersby can be heard screaming in the background as the man runs away from the burning car.
It is illegal and extremely dangerous to transport gasoline in non-approved containers. Gasoline is highly flammable and can ignite even from a small spark. Furthermore, smoking near gasoline is an extremely hazardous activity, as the smoke can ignite the gasoline vapor, leading to a catastrophic explosion.
This incident highlights the importance of following safety protocols when handling gasoline. It is essential to use approved containers that are designed to transport gasoline safely. Additionally, it is important to keep gasoline away from any heat source or ignition source, including cigarettes, lighters, or matches.
