A couple of years ago there was a recall on a whole
bunch of mower fuel tanks that were manufactured
without any barbs on the nipples. Apparently a lot of
people were having their fuel lines fall off, leading
to exactly that scenario.

That's rather graphic. I'm surprised, the FD guy looks like he's using a
water hose. Guess that would work, after the gasoline burned out. Cheaper
than dry chemical.

Not only the eight bucks gas, but you lost the mower. Likely beyond repair.
Your mower is going in flames, and you reach for a camera? I'd have gone and
got a fire extinguisher first. But, the pictures are worth seeing.
