Video @ the URL below.He tried to kill the insect with a lighter. The flame mixed with the fuel and engulfed the gas pump.
Amazingly, the man escaped serious injury. He grabbed a nearby extinguisher before firefighters arrived.
The fuel pump was damaged, but his car was not. The man even returned to the same station the next day!

We've got to give him some sort of recognition don't we?

The story also called it a "massive" fire, yet the gas station was open for business later in the day. Must have been a very small massive fire.
