While in college, I lived with an elderly woman and her twin grandsons who were my age. She owned several acres and since I lived there nearly for free, I always mowed and took care of the place. There was a patch of trees in the yard that had overgrown somewhat and had a bunch of limbs on the ground. So I cleaned them all up and made a burn pile for her. Since everything was wet, I needed some assistance to start the burn pile. I wanted to have it all the way cleaned for her when she returned. The only thing available was gasoline from her farm fuel tank. So I grabbed a 5 gallon bucket from the garage and filled it with a gallon or two of gas and walked it across the yard to the burn pile. Threw the gas on the wood and lit the fire, no problem. That's when I realized the bucket had a hole in the bottom and the trail of gas that I unknowingly trekked across the yard turned into a trail of fire all the way back to the tank. The fire was burning several feet high under the tank and got dangerously close to the fuel hose which was hanging under the tank. I took my shirt off and smothered the fire with no harm done. The only thing that was left was the evidence- a path of burned grass for the tank to the burn pile. Lesson learned.
