From The Age:
"A woman was taken to hospital this morning after she accidentally set herself on fire.
Senior Constable David Fitzgerald said police believed the woman was filling her car with petrol from a jerry can in Thornbury about 1.30am. Struggling in the dark, the woman used a cigarette lighter to see what she was doing, sparking the fire, he said.
An ambulance spokeswoman said the woman received minor burns and was taken to the Austin Hospital in a stable condition"

Alighting from her vehicle, not a bad effort though.
