Man Lights His FLAMABLE Pants On Fire To "See What Would Happen"

When he reports back to work, he will no doubt have some explaining to do.

An employee at a furniture manufacturing business off Loma Rica Road decided Friday night to see what would happen if he held a lighter to his pants - which were saturated with a highly flammable chemical.

The result was his pants, and a part of the building, caught on fire.

No one was seriously hurt in the blaze, which was reported at 11:26 p.m. at Furniture by Thurston, 12250 Charles Drive. The employee suffered minor burns to his legs and was taken to Sierra Nevada Memorial Hospital. He was released the same day.

"He put a lighter to his pants to see if they would ignite, an EMT told me," said Dan Slayton, a Furniture by Thurston business manager. "It just baffles me."
