California arsonists set themselves on fire while attacking business, video shows
A video has emerged of two suspected arsonists in California setting themselves on fire during an attack on a business, with one of them exclaiming “Ah!” While trying to run away from the spot.
The incident happened Monday morning at the Servicio de Immigration in Bakersfield. The company provides immigration and naturalization services.
The footage, taken from a Ring security camera, begins with two unidentified masked men approaching the business and dousing it with gasoline.
One of the men then bends over to ignite the gasoline, but once he does so, the sudden and rapid inferno takes them both by surprise.
The suspected arsonist who started the fire is then seen running away with flames on his leg, while the other repeatedly slips in an attempt to escape the fire.
“Ahh!” One of the men is heard screaming before fleeing into the night, which fires into his lower back and buttocks.
According to 23ABC, the fire was extinguished about 10 minutes after first responders arrived.

Business owner Max Solorzano told the station the city of Bakersfield needs to do more to keep locals safe.
“They have to work hard on that aspect to keep the community safe,” he said. “We are a small business and we help many people, so there will be people who will not be able to receive our services because of inaction.

“That’s what saddens me the most,” he continued. “We help families of many farm workers with their immigration processes, we help people with taxes. We ask our customers to be patient with us, we will get through this.”
The motive for the attack is unclear and as of Wednesday the suspects had not been apprehended.

I guess the cops are looking for two guys without eyebrows who smell like gasoline.
