Hummer Loaded With 5-Gallon Gas Canisters Catches Fire At Gas Station

An attempt to hoard gasoline backfired for a Florida man.

Fire crews were called to a Texaco station in Homosassa, Florida on Wednesday after a Hummer loaded with gas canisters burst into flame.

The driver had just filled up four 5-gallon gas cans and placed them in the vehicle when flames broke out, engulfing the Hummer H2.  

Crews put out the fire in about 10 minutes. 

The driver was injured but refused medical attention.

Officials say it's another reminder not to hoard more gasoline than you need.

And according to Jalopnik, "The thing is, there were no shortages in Florida. Zero."
