The car was moving from the direction of May 25, and the moment it caught fire, the driver directed the vehicle to the gas station, where he wanted to turn off the vehicle.

The vehicle was completely damaged, and as the bomb workers say, two explosions were heard, but they are not sure if they were heard from the car or if they were fire extinguishers.

The owner of the car is at the scene, and said that at the time the flames broke out he was in the vehicle and he could not even turn the car off, he just jumped.

“The car was burning underneath, flames sprouted from the wheels, and the driver opened the door and jumped out of the car,” said the pump worker.

The bomb workers tried unsuccessfully to put out the fire and used up to five fire extinguishers to fight the fire. They were also helped by a worker from a vulcanization shop not far from there.

The pump in which the fire occurred stopped working tonight, after the electricity in the building was turned off.

There were up to 40 tons of gasoline and about 30 tons of oil in the pump store, which could have caused a catastrophe by a chain reaction.

Nine firefighters-rescuers intervened with a tanker truck and a naval vehicle.
