Question? Fueling with Refrigerator or Furnace Running

I err on the side of caution since I don't want to be telling the police or a reporter on the local news about why I didn't realize that gasoline vapors and open flames are not a good combination at a fuel station with the background being a three alarm blaze.

My refrigerator may not be where I'm filling... but someone else using another fuel aisle might be filling up their vehicle, and who knows where their vapors might land.
