The explosion caused panic among those present at the scene, including other vehicle owners and petrol pump employees. As people fled for safety, one brave employee sprang into action. He grabbed a fire extinguisher and rushed towards the blazing truck, attempting to douse the flames.
Despite his initial efforts, the fire re-ignited after the extinguisher cylinder was depleted. The employee fetched another extinguisher and continued his attempts to control the fire. Inspired by his bravery, others at the station also joined in, and together they managed to bring the fire under control after a long struggle.
