Quote: "Deputies say Perez poured gas over the carburetor, got back inside to start the car, and the fire started. The doors to the RV were locked and Perez was unable to unlock the doors and was trapped inside."
Note: The fire disabled his power locks and windows. I've warned about that many times after watching numerous other people burn to death for the same reason when their vehicles have burst into flame. It seems wise nowadays to carry something in your vehicle with which to break windows and cut seatbelts because once a fire does break out, you may have only seconds to act before lack of oxygen knocks you out, and then you're dead unless somebody is nearby and acts very quickly. This is the 111th RV to burn in 2016...

Note: All vehicles are now randomly-igniting firebombs that can go off at any time, parked or driven, so park a vehicle near anything you don't want to see on fire at your own risk. And sometimes vehicles are igniting with people inside them and killing the people too, so it seems prudent nowadays to keep something handy with which to break windows and cut seatbelts, in case your vehicle ignites with you in it, which sometimes disables power locks and windows and can leave you trapped in a burning vehicle, and that's almost always fatal...
