A couple of gas hoarding lit their apartment complex on fire. How many gallons you say? Approximately 45 gallons of gasoline in nine plastic containers stacked in a closet that also contained an air conditioning unit caused the blaze. The fumes from the gasoline set off the fire Thursday, luckily, it was quickly extinguished by the sprinkler system.
No one was seriously hurt, but residents of eight units of the complex were displaced.
Investigators believe the couple was storing the gas because of rising prices. Officials say they might face civil penalties for violating the fire code.
I only mention this as a reminder of what not to do with the ever rising gas prices. All I gotta say is, hybrid cars.
