Just a quick reminder to everyone out there… hand sanitizer is made from alcohol, and alcohol is extremely flammable.

A guy in Rockville, MD is lucky to be alive but is suffering from 1st & 2nd degree burns on his hands & inner thighs after applying copious amounts of hand sanitizer on his hands, and then proceeded to light a cigarette. Ashes from the cigarette fell in to his lap and as the man tried to brush the ash away, his hands and pants caught on fire. The care quickly went in to flames as well, and the man was lucky to escape.
