NEW YORK -- Two off-duty police officers are credited with coming to the rescue of a man on fire at a Queens gas station.
Police say the driver gassed up a generator in the back of his truck, spilled some of the fuel on his clothes and then went back inside his truck and lit a cigarette. That sparked the fire.
The officers used rags and their own bodies to put out the flames.
The victim was taken to St. John's Hospital where he is listed in stable condition.
