Fuel strike: Drivers queue for petrol in sweltering heat before strike even begins | Mail Online

A middle-aged woman has suffered horrific 40 per cent burns to her body after petrol ignited as she moved it between jerry cans in her kitchen.
The woman, who was in her 40s, was pouring fuel from one container to another with a jug after her daughter's car ran out of petrol on Thursday evening.

But the family's gas cooker was burning at the same time and ignited the petrol fumes which engulfed the woman in flames after her clothes caught alight, North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service said.

Fuel strike: anger over government advice grows as woman burnt in petrol accident - Telegraph

Labour peer Lord Harris called for Francis Maude to resign after the woman suffered 40 per cent burns when she tried to pour petrol into a jug in her kitchen after her daughter's car needed refuelling. The gas cooker was on and the petrol caught fire.

Mr Maude, the Cabinet Office Minister, had told motorists earlier this week they should keep a jerry can in the garage to cope with a potential fuel shortage.

Lord Harris tweeted: "This woman was following advice from Govt Minister Francis Maude & ends up with 40% burns. Disgraceful. He shd resign.

WTF?
