A teenage boy accidentally set himself on fire early Wednesday morning after allegedly trying to siphon gas from a firefighter's car.

Police first learned of the injury after a 17-year-old boy and a 16-year-old boy claimed that someone had thrown gasoline on the 17-year-old at the Common Cents service station and lit him on fire, said Lt. Rod Hauge.

The boy was taken to the hospital with second- and third-degree burns on his legs. Police were called to the hospital to investigate the incident and later learned that the 17-year-old spilled gas on his pants while siphoning. He then used a lighter to try to determine how wet his pants were and set himself on fire, Hague said.

Both boys have been ticketed with larceny, Hauge said.

about 2nd degree worth

Next he can use the lighter to see how much gas is left in the tank.

It's the education systems fault for not letting these youths know about lighter + gas = burning darwin award.. well almost.

2nd and 3rd degree burns on the legs. Depending on how high up those burns extend it could be the rare, non-fatal Darwin.

LMFAO.....this is just natures way of thinning out the herd.

 

[us3rnotfound]
