WILMINGTON, Del. (CBS) – A Delaware man who was working on repairing a car was injured in an industrial accident on Tuesday afternoon.

Around 2:49 p.m., Wilmington police and New Castle County Paramedics responded to a fire in the Port of Wilmington.

The victim was reportedly using an acetylene torch while repairing a vehicle, and when the vapors mixed with some gasoline he had spilled on himself earlier, they ignited on his arm.
