patgundMan Says He Cleaned With Gas While Smoking
"A man faces an arson charge after telling authorities he wasn't thinking when he decided to use gasoline for cleaning up his apartment, and then tossed a lit cigarette into a pile of gas-soaked cushions and clothes.
A criminal complaint filed Monday quoted a 47-year-old man as saying he knew gasoline is flammable and never should have used it.
The complaint said that when the fire began Friday, he didn't pull the fire alarm but instead shouted "fire" a couple of times and walked to the Menasha police department for an ambulance to take him to the hospital where he was treated for burns.
Firefighters said the blaze extensively damaged the apartment and caused heavy smoke damage throughout the building, putting tenants of 11 other units out of their homes."
