A Saudi citizen and a petrol station worker successfully extinguished a fire that erupted in a car at a fueling station in Hafr Al Batin, potentially averting a major catastrophe.
The incident, captured by the station’s surveillance cameras, occurred when a car, parked for refueling with its driver inside, suddenly caught fire at the fuel tank while still connected to the gas hose.
The situation escalated quickly as the car’s owner and other customers fled the scene for safety.
However, a gas station worker sprang into action, using a manual fire extinguisher to combat the flames.
Another individual, later identified as local hero Fahd Manahi Al Shodahi, courageously stepped in to remove the hose from the car’s tank, bringing the fire under control.
The footage of the incident has gone viral, drawing widespread admiration for the bravery and quick thinking of the individuals involved.
