Tap water can... catch fire

A family in Ohio (USA) was shocked to discover that the faucet they were using suddenly turned into a flammable fuel.

Ms. Debby Kline said that just holding a burning candle near the open faucet will cause a large fire to flare up and spread throughout the sink, sometimes the fire can burn as high as the ceiling.NBCreport



Just bring the flame near and the faucet will catch fire.

The main reason why the tap turned into a fire starter is believed to be due to the high methane content in the water. Methane is a colorless gas that exists naturally in the ground and is flammable.

Four months earlier, a gas company had been drilling near her home, Kline added, and she assumed the company would be responsible for the strange water.
