Two Broward residents narrowly escaped injury after causing a flash fire and destroying their portable generator Thursday night at a home near Fort Lauderdale, the Broward Sheriff's Office said on Friday.

One resident was attempting to re-fuel the generator in the dark on the 2900 block of Northwest Seventh Court and decided to peer into the gas tank using a burning candle for light. The flame from the candle ignited flammable gasoline vapors inside the tank causing a flash fire that destroyed the generator and created a serious risk to the adjacent structure.

6. My parents' house is on a foundation not original to it, because someone
who owned it years ago decided to go looking for a gas leak in the basement, with a lighter.:think: :freak:
