Children, never play with gasoline.

Seen from Payson, Utah on Saturday, February 12th, 2011.

I could see the flames from 5 miles away. I drive to the West hills to investigate.


Uh oh, doesn't look good.


House is fully involved.


The next day, we took a Sunday drive to see the aftermath. A 14-year-old kid was using a cup of gasoline to get video of "flame effects" in the back yard. The flames spread to the gas can, and then to the house. 4,221 square feet, 6 bedrooms, 4 baths, $675,000. Total loss.

Hope they had good insurance...
