Investigators with the Westfield Fire Department said a man who lives at the home, was putting gas into a car in the garage, while smoking a cigarette.
Brilliant move.

There are the "Honorary Mentions" categories...I think this one falls into one of this...ie - "Honorary Mention - Stupidity with Gasoline and Fire."
