Try getting your facts right pal and let me know how it works out for you if you cause a explosion at a gas station.
Florida has adopted the National Fire Protection Association‘s standards, including National Fire Protection Association Rule 30A, Code for Motor Fuel Dispensing Facilities and Repair Garages, Chapter 9.2.5.1, which states, in part: “Smoking materials, including matches and lighters, shall not be used within 6 m (20 ft) of areas used for fueling, servicing fuel systems of internal combustion engines, or receiving or dispensing of Class I or Class II liquids . . . .”
I am sure the DA and Fire Marshall would have a ball with you in front of a jury trial.
Fire Marshals have as much power as the Chief of Police and also has arrest power if you are breaking the Fire codes and Laws.
You must be a smoker or just ignorant!!!
