Gas Tank Drill Sparks Fire



The Parkesburg Fire Company's web site this morning has a "don't try this at home" story about a car fire Tuesday originally reported as a fire at Pizza Villa in the Acme Plaza.

Turn out the fire was across the street in Grape Ally between Gay and Brandt Streets.

The money quote:
It was found that the fire was accidentally caused due to trying to drain the gas out of the gas tank by drilling a hole [in the tank] and sparks ignited the gas.
Read more about the fire and Parkesburg Fire Company's response on their web site here.
