A hummer in Citrus County caught fire on Wednesday morning right after the driver filled up four five-gallon gasoline containers.
According to fire rescue officials, the vehicle caught fire around 10:52 a.m., right after the driver filled up the four gas containers at the Texaco Food Mart on W. Grover Cleveland Blvd.
The Florida State Fire Marshal’s Office will determine the official cause of the fire.

The situation comes amid problems with people panic buying gasoline after one of the country’s largest gasoline suppliers, Colonial Pipeline, shut down over the weekend due to a cyberattack.
