Kentucky man hospitalized with second-degree burns after e-cigarette battery explodes in his pocket at gas station
Children are told to stop, drop and roll in case of fire, though one Kentucky man had to quickly take off his pants after a e-cigarette battery exploded in his pocket.
Josh Hamilton, of Owensboro, was at a convenience store buying snacks when the smoking device burst into flames, shooting sparks around the cash register area.
