Suppose you take an ice cube tray and use petroleum/gasoline to freeze some blocks of it. What would happen if you:
a) placed a cube above naked flame; or
b) threw a cube against a surface which caused a spark?

The liquids on the outer layer of the cube would ignite because they would have melted on your fingers as you picked them up and placed the mover a flame. You would probably cause a house fire.
