Lawnmower welding fire - GIF

[Frank S]

What he couldn't have drained the gas out prior to turning the lawnmower over on its side. Now he has wasted his fire extinguisher on something he could have put out with a wet towel and has to wait forever for that dust to get out of his garage.

Looks staged to me otherwise why was the extinguisher conveniently laying on the floor.

Never underestimate the ability of dumb people to repeat mistakes...might have been there because the last time he did this it was next to him and on fire when he needed it...

Also reminds me a little of the time I was welding a new bracket on my driveway gate, and suddenly wondered why I smelled a different kind of smoke...it was some dry grass on the ground underneath. Stomped it out, grabbed my hose and soaked down the area and finished the weld :-)
