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 ....
