When the call came in that a car was on fire at a gas station all the firemen got excited. Excited for them. This was what they lived for. Danger and excitement. They wouldn't do it for free but they'd watch a fire for free.

When they got there the owner of the station was yelling and screaming that his whole place might go up. He wanted the owner of the car to push it out of the way. The owner of the car was trying to put the fire out with one of those tiny extinguishers that was already empty.

The fire captain told them to both calm down and let the pros handle this. The firemen had the fire out in seconds. They told the guy to call a tow truck and then they left. They didn't even make it back to the fire house when the call came in to return to the gas station.

When they got there they saw the guy looking under the hood at his engine. He was using his lighter to see by. The fireman grabbed him before he blew himself, the station and half of the neighborhood up. They pushed his car over to the side, took his lighter and yelled at him to call for a tow. Then they left.

Then they returned to find the guy's car on fire again. Seems he got some dope to give him a jump thinking he could drive the car home. As soon as the spark hit his battery it hit the fuel he was cranking. This time the firemen put out the fire with foam that they weren't too careful where they sprayed. Then they called the cops.

The cops said they weren't too sure what they could arrest the guy for. It was his own car and didn't seem to be deliberately doing anything wrong.

"Cap, just don't know what to charge him with", one of the cops told her.

"I don't care if you charge this fool or not. Just arrest him and hold him until we get this towed away".

"Still don't know that we can just arrest someone for being stupid. We'd have to arrest half the city".

"Okay. How's this. Take him to Belview for a psychiatric evaluation. This guy isn't stupid, he's nuts".

"Oh, why didn't you say so. Okay, we got him. Say, Chief, you got a light? I lost my lighter".
