Hyderabad, July 3: A major fire accident was narrowly averted on Thursday evening after a car suddenly caught fire at the Bharat Petrol Pump in the Mailardevpally area of Hyderabad. The quick and brave intervention of the petrol pump staff helped bring the situation under control before it could lead to a larger disaster.

Videos of the incident, now circulating on social media, show flames erupting from the car’s engine while staff members quickly responded using fire extinguishers and even mud to douse the fire. Their prompt action prevented the blaze from reaching the fuel dispensers and causing a much more serious explosion.

Fortunately, no casualties or injuries were reported in the incident. The exact cause of the fire is yet to be determined, though initial reports suggest it may have stemmed from a technical fault in the car.
