A guy walked into a Taco Bell in Phoenix, Arizona on Thursday night . . . and he was ON FIRE.

It started in the parking lot of an Arby's next door.  People in the drive thru noticed an older guy engulfed in FLAMES, and someone told the manager.  So she ran out with a fire extinguisher, put him out, and called 911.

 

But he wasn't yelling or moving around . . . he was just standing there with no pants. Then he walked into the Taco Bell, and asked for a cup of WATER.  But not to put out the flames . . . to DRINK.

The guy was still smoldering, so the place started filling up with smoke.  And since there were kids and families inside, they EVACUATED.

 

The guy was taken to the hospital, and treated for second and third-degree burns on 90% of his body.  The cops think he was homeless . . . but they DON'T think anyone else was involved.

NO BIGGIE, I'M ON FIRE.  DO YOU HAVE A GLASS OF WATER?  HOW BOUT A POND OVER YOUR HEAD GUY!?  You are melting.  Hey, get the "Fire Taco there Jimmy!"
