Out of reflex, he immediately pulled it out of his car. It proved to be the wrong thing to do, as the still-flowing nozzle splashed petrol everywhere, causing the fire to spread all over the ground and almost set his friend on fire.

Thankfully, the fire died down without any explosion and no serious injuries were reported.
It was believed to have been caused by his car engine being left on as he was filling up petrol.
