NICK EICHER, HOST: Well, you know the old saying, Where there’s smoke, there’s fire. And sometimes, where there are burns, there’s an arsonist.

Firefighters in Columbus, Ohio, responded to a call involving fuel storage containers. The evidence showed someone removing fuel from storage tanks and putting them into a truck.

That’s when a flash fire occurred, and spread. 

Video of the theft led authorities to a suspect, and when they called him in, the evidence got even stronger: burns on his cheek and earlobe, singed eyebrows, and a bandaged burn on his arm. Don’t worry, it wasn’t that bad.

But once confronted, he said, yeah, you got me. Turns out he was a former employee, and you will not be surprised to learn he didn’t quit. He was… wait for it… fired.

It’s The World and Everything in It.
