A man with an apparent case of
arachnophobia caused a fire at a suburban Detroit gas pump by putting a
lighter to what he says was a spider near his fuel door.
WJBK-TV reports
(http://bit.ly/1Fqtbo5 ) Saturday that he escaped injury and his vehicle
suffered little damage, but the gas pump was destroyed. A clerk shut
off the pump from indoors and called the fire department.
The motorist can be heard on the
surveillance video at the Center Line station asking: “Is that a spider
in there?” The video then shows flames erupting along the car’s side,
the pump and the pavement.
The man darts to safety and later uses a fire extinguisher to put out the flames. A spider is not seen.
The clerk says he apologized the next day.
