- ''People should read the signs and not answer their cell phones. ... It is well-documented that it is dangerous to do that.''
- It's the first case they've encountered of a cell phone's operation sparking a fire, the two town officials added.
Apparently, warning signs and forwarded urban legends now constitute documentation of a danger. Myself, I'm skeptical of how a cell phone by someone's ear found enough fuel-air mixture to ignite, without causing the user to pass out from the fumes.
