Why is it advised to switch off the mobile phones in petrol pumps?

Cell phones are asked to be switched off at petrol pumps
as they are a potential ignition source to the flammable vapours in that atmosphere.
This step has been followed after acceptance of the fact
that there is risk of fire accidents due to ignition of batteries of cell phones.
As a result manufacturers as well as service providers of the cell phones
ask users to keep the cell phones in "off" mode.
