Man sets himself on fire on the National Mall in Washington

WASHINGTON (AP) — A fire official says a man has been flown to the hospital after setting himself on fire on the National Mall. Fire crews responded Friday afternoon to a report of a man on fire at 7th Street and Madison Drive. A witness says she saw a man dump a red canister of gasoline on his head and then set himself on fire. D.C. Fire Department spokesman Tim Wilson says the man has life-threatening injuries. His name and age weren't immediately known. Katy Scheflen says she was walking along the Mall when she saw a man by himself pick up a can of gasoline and empty its contents on his head before setting himself ablaze.She says passing joggers took off their shirts to help douse the flames.
