Man Engulfed In Flames Walks In To Taco Bell Looking For A Drink Of Water

And people on fire want ice water.

A man engulfed in flames walked into a Phoenix Taco Bell and begged for a glass of water, officials said.

Customers spotted the man on fire Thursday night in a parking lot the taco chain shares with an Arby’s restaurant. At least 90 percent of his body was burning, witnesses said.

It’s unclear how or why he was set ablaze.

“He was just standing there,” Lindsay Riedlinger, a manager at Arby’s, told KTVK. “He wasn’t screaming, he wasn’t yelling or anything. He just looked like in complete shock.”

Riedlinger grabbed a fire extinguisher when her customers told her about the man and ran outside to help.

She found him nearly naked — his burning clothes were in a pile next to him. She sprayed him down with the extinguisher, putting out most of the flames.

Then, the still-smoldering man turned around and walked into the Taco Bell, where he asked for some water to drink.

The smoke coming off of the man forced the Taco Bell to evacuate.

“I went in after him as well and the place started getting really smoky real fast,” Riedlinger said. “There were kids and families in there.”

Medics took the man to a local hospital.

He is in critical condition with second- and third-degree burns covering 90 percent of his body.

Ohhh-kaaaaaay…
