"She got out a gallon bottle and poured what looked like dirty water over her head," Maxey said. "I thought maybe she's really hot."

"All of a sudden I saw a blue lighter," Maxey said. And then, Sagal was engulfed in flames.

Another witness, Scot Baughman, sprang into action, ripping his shirt off and attempting to put out the fire.

But it "would just not go out," he said. Soon a sheriff's deputy joined in the effort to put out the fire.

Peter Stratacos, another witness, said he and his business partner had been parked on the side of the park when they realized what was happening. They ran over to Sagal with water.

The water -- or a fire extinguisher, according to another account -- finally put out the fire.

"The person was in shock," Stratacos said, "hyperventilating."

Her skin, he said, was peeled and "bright white."
