A raging fire broke out late last night at the U-Haul on River Road, but police say the story behind how the fire got started is even flashier than the flames themselves.
Sgt. Stotts, with Eugene Police Department, said this all started with a dispute between a man and a woman in the U-Haul parking lot.
Stotts said the man was in a vehicle and threw a lit firework at the woman standing outside the vehicle, while she ducked for cover, the firework burst into sparks and the man drove away.
Unbeknownst to the man and woman, a thief was underneath one of the other U-Hauls stealing gas.
Sparks from the fireworks flew near the gasoline and four of the U-Hauls burst into flames with the thief catching on fire as well.
The gasoline thief and the woman both ran from the scene, with the thief running away with his pants and sleeve on fire.
