On July 15, a blazing truck drove straight into the Jianchang Avenue Fire Rescue Station in Yongxiu County, southern China, prompting a swift response from the firefighters. The truck's cargo area was engulfed in thick smoke and visible flames, and the firefighters immediately sprang into action to extinguish the fire.

Surveillance footage shows the truck entering the fire station at 11:16 AM. Within 20 seconds, fire trucks and firefighters had assembled, deployed hoses, and started spraying water. The fire was extinguished within three minutes, saving the truck's body from significant damage.

The truck was carrying asphalt and a gas cylinder. The driver, a road maintenance worker, explained that the fire started when a cigarette butt fell into the cargo area while he was working on a nearby road.

The video was provided with permission from local media.
