ALBUQUERQUE, NEW MEXICO (KOAT):
• Probe follows man on fire at gas station
Man Goes Up In Flames At Gas Station
UPDATED: 7:07 am MST February 25, 2005
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- Investigators with the Albuquerque Fire Department and the police department continued their investigation Friday into what made a man at a gas station go up in flames, leaving him in critical condition.
Officials said the man, who is in his 30s, paid for gas Thursday evening, walked to the pump and ignited into flames moments later.
Witnesses said the man was not there with a vehicle, and that he might have been filling a gas container.
The man was rushed to a local hospital with second- and third-degree burns on 40 to 50 percent of his body.
Officials said Friday morning that the gas station was reopened, but the specific pump was not back online.
I think the headline in the second quote might have been more appropriate. I was wondering why they didn't put out the fire instead of sending a probe after him
