Sometimes, a crime of passion can turn you into fuel.

A man is wanted by authorities after he accidentally set himself on fire trying to murder his girlfriend and her children.

Is that what they call a "burning desire?"

According to Fox News:

A New Mexico man is still on the loose after he accidentally set himself on fire last month while trying to burn down his ex-girlfriend's home, according to a report.

The Albuqurque Police Department is searching for Artemio Sanchez-Ortega, 46, who was caught on a neighbor's surveillance video fleeing from his ex-girlfriend's home after he set it on fire, while she and her children were inside back on May 24, KOAT reported.

The man called his ex-girlfriend three times before the incident and appeared intoxicated.

Daniel Provine, the neighbor who captured the incident, took a jab at Sanchez-Ortega, denouncing his crime.

"Don't commit arson... but if you're going to commit arson, maybe figure out how to do it without catching yourself on fire in the process?" Provine wrote.

Fortunately, the woman and her children are unharmed but it’s unclear what the state of the wannabe arsonist is in.

Had this guy paid attention in chemistry class, he would have learned that gasoline vapor is flammable, not liquid. And it’s not wise to be close to gasoline when setting it on fire as it will definitely reach you in no time. But obviously, he’s not the brightest bulb in the box.

Question: How does one survive this?

And he ran for so long still ignited in flames, that's craaaazy and looked very painful. But Karma is a b-word and that’s exactly what we have here.

Unclear how he has not been reporting to a hospital at this point but it’s probably safe to assume he is in a lot of pain.
