    On Sunday Morning the Janesville, Wisconsin, Fire Department
    responded to reports of a garage fire at 11:00 am. Firemen
    were able to arrive before the fire spread to the home and
    were able to save the residence with minimal damage.

    One person was taken to the hospital for burn treatment to
    the hands and arms and the cause of the fire was determined
    to be a resident attempting to siphon gas out of a vehicle
    using a wet/dry vacuum.

    . . .

    Honorable Mention for this years Darwin Awards fer sure :-)

    Sure ... NO problem giving a cheap electric motor a big
    concentrated dose of highly-flammable vapor ....

    was drilling into a civil war cannonball
    he found when the predictable happened.
