A spark then caused an explosion, which ignited the gas.<\/p>\n<p>Leno told TMZ that his friend Dave, who was in the garage with him at the time, was able to smother the flames \u2014 otherwise, he said that the fire was serious enough that it easily could have killed him.<\/p>\n<p>The former \u201cTonight Show\u201d host was reportedly lucky that the flames did not damage his eyes or ears \u2014 but third-degree burns on his face could ultimately cause him to <a href=\"https:\/\/pagesix.com\/2022\/11\/15\/jay-leno-may-need-grafts-after-third-degree-burns-in-car-fire\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">need skin grafts<\/a> in order to heal properly.<\/p>\n<p>After the accident on Sunday, attendees at the Financial Brand Forum 2022 in Las Vegas were notified that he would not appear as scheduled. \u201cHis family was not able to provide us very many details, but there was a very serious medical emergency that is preventing Jay from traveling,\u201d the statement read. \u201cAll we know is that he is alive, so our prayers go out to him and his family tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Leno has long been a car enthusiast \u2014 an interest he says he can trace back to his first girlfriend and the desire not to get caught taking some rather risqu\u00e9 photos of her. He explained that since photos were not digital at the time, everything was done on film \u2014 and that meant that film had to be developed by real people, preferably people who did not know his parents.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen you got the film you had to find a place that would develop it that didn\u2019t know your parents. So you had to go two towns over,\u201d he said, explaining that he needed a car to make that happen.<\/p>\n<p>Leno said that he just needed some time to recover, telling Page Six in a <a href=\"https:\/\/pagesix.com\/2022\/11\/14\/jay-leno-speaks-out-after-suffering-serious-burns-from-car-fire\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">statement<\/a>, \u201cI got some serious burns from a gasoline fire.
