The driver of a Ford Fusion that was on fire left internet users completely stunned after being caught at a gas station.
The situation was recorded in a video posted on TikTok by Thao Nguyen, who filmed the moment the burning Ford Fusion stopped next to a fuel pump. “Poor guy… it’s only 8 a.m.,” she wrote in the caption.
In the comments of the clip, which has already surpassed 22 million views, internet users were shocked by the man’s audacity to park his burning car right next to a gas pump.
“A bad day [for him] is about to get worse for everyone within a two-block radius,” joked one TikTok user. “Car on fire… goes to the most flammable place,” another observed.
“He might be right, because gas stations have fire suppression systems in the ceiling,” argued a third.
Despite the assumptions from internet users that the driver went to the gas station after his car caught fire, one of Nguyen’s comments suggests that he was already fueling the vehicle when the fire started.
If this happens to you, some precautions should be taken. First, get out of the vehicle and ensure all occupants exit as well. Then notify the station employees immediately.
After that, you can call the Fire Department to request assistance and then locate the station’s fire extinguishers, which are usually placed near the pumps, to try to put out the fire. Since a fire at a gas station can turn into an explosion within seconds, acting quickly is crucial.
