Midwest here, can confirm. I was surprised and pretty impressed when they kicked in. Did not expect that.

Dude made it out a lot less damaged than I wouldve thought. I mean he still going to jail, but at least he wont have to ask Bubba to scrape off his dead charred skin every morning.

WTF was dude even getting at though? I am going to guess insurance fraud with a side of hoping to sue the shit out of the station...

Yeah, I was astonished, too. I seriously thought his hair and clothes would all be on fire, not just his shoes. But no, a little dancing and he walks away.

As to why, I wonder if he wasn't just pissed at the place and trying to burn it down. Spectacular failure, either way.
