While in this case there may have been another source of static electricity and they blamed it on the phone; Cell phones can start a fire. Case in point: A sub is working on an instrument panel at a major oil company refinery. His nokia cell phone rings. He stops working to answer the phone. The second he touches the answer button there is a flash explosion of the gas fumes leaking from the panel. He has second and third degree burns on his face, arms, and chest but lives to tell how it happened. If you could make this man believe for one second that cell phones will not start a fire I would then believe you. Major oil companies are not in the habit of calling the 6 o'clock news to report every screw up.
