I dunno about you guys, but I sure enjoy not being on fire. At any given time, there are at least 4,000 people in the world that prefer to not be on fire. Those are pretty good numbers in my book.

Lets take a moment to move away from our daily drama and hear some stories from people that have actually been on fire. How/why did it happen? What can you suggest other people do to avoid the same fate?

Well I must be one of the 4,000 then. I can definitely tell you I would really not like to be in an SUV. Those things roll and get blowd up. Fire just ain't me. Must be a Libby thing.

Does pouring a shot of Everclear on a fire helmet that is currently strapped to your head and igniting it count?

Stop, drop and roll, preferably with a blanket or a rug?

Those invisible racing fuel fires are scary... seen a driver writhing from it once.

Are you on fire? If so, you'd be a bit easier to pick out of the crowd ... :snicker:

She's carrying a rare mummified Pac-Man recently recovered from the ancient Tomb of Gamers, constructed sometime around AD 1983.
