   Authorities in California are asking the public for help after a   
   man went inside a gas station on Saturday and purchased a gallon   
   of gas before spilling it near a pump and lighting it on fire.   
      
   The Sacramento Metropolitan Fire Department said on Twitter the   
   incident happened at the Unocal 76 gas station on Watt Avenue in   
   Sacramento on Saturday morning.   
      
   Surveillance images released by fire officials show the man   
   entering the store wearing sunglasses before returning to the   
   pump outside.   
      
   Marichal Brown, who was working at the cash register at the   
   time, told FOX40 he looked up and saw a "huge fire."   
      
   “He spilled gasoline on the floor on purpose, then set the   
   nozzle up and lit a match to it and set it all on fire, as a man   
   just pulled up to pump gas," he said.   
      
   A man bought a gallon of gas before spilling it near a pump and   
   lighting it on fire at a gas station in Sacramento, Calif. on   
   Saturday, according to officials.   
      
   Brown told FOX40 the gas station was nearly full at the time and   
   he knew customers were in danger.   
      
   “I was afraid that it would activate the pump to explode. Once   
   we got everyone to safety, I ran back in and grabbed the fire   
   extinguisher,” he said.   
      
   Brown was able to put the fire out before fire crews on the   
   scene. The man fled the gas station on foot into the surrounding   
   neighborhood.   
      
   Metro Fire Capt. Chris Vestal said his crews are now working to   
   find the man before he puts anyone else at risk.

   “We don’t know what the danger is because we don’t know who he   
   is, we don’t know his motive, and we don’t know what his   
   intentions were,” Vestal told FOX40. “We really need help in   
   identifying him and locating him to make sure there’s no danger   
   to the community and to make sure this doesn’t happen again.”   
      
   Anyone who is able to identify the man in the photos released by
