A quick-thinking petrol station worker extinguished a fire emerging from a vehicle's burning fog light.

The employee was passing by when he noticed flames under the black sedan that was being fuelled in Zhejiang, China, on September 20.

CCTV footage shows the driver stepping out of the car after being told to leave the vehicle quickly. The staff then grabbed the extinguisher and put out the blaze.

Authorities said that the cause of the fire was a worn-out light circuit.

No one was harmed in the incident.

Petrol stations are equipped with several fire prevention and safety devices to minimise the risk of fire incidents. Staff are also fully informed about basic fire drills through training and seminars.
