Police and fire officials in Bowling Green are responding to a large explosion at a gas station.

Around 4:50 p.m. Monday, officials from the Bowling Green Fire Department said in a Facebook post they were responding to a fire at the Comfuel location on Raven Avenue near Veterans Memorial Boulevard, just outside downtown Bowling Green.

The Bowling Green Police Department have closed off Veterans Memorial Lane between Clay and Main streets and has asked the public to avoid the area. Church and Clay streets are also closed, according to the police department's Facebook page.

At least one school has also been ordered to evacuate.

The blaze was started by an electric car. Not so carbon neutral now, are you?

What evidence is there to back up that charge?

I know this joke. But I have to ask, were there any chickens inside the gas station?

I'm sorry. It's a thing we used to call a joke, before everyone was offended by everything.

I wasn't offended, but I didn't recognize what you said as a joke.

Let me help you understand. One form of humor is called irony. The fire occurred at a gas station. That is typically where vehicles "refuel", as they call it. However, electric vehicles run on "electricity" stored in a "battery". Electric vehicles are also prone to catching fire. Here's where the irony comes in. What if the fire and explosion at a GAS STATION was caused by an ELECTRIC VEHICLE that happens to not run on GASOLINE? It's okay, humor isn't for everyone.

You can fuck off with the patronizing attitude kiddo. Your joke failed. It happens (to me as well). But this sort of crap just shows that you have a problem.
