(UPI) Firefighters in New Jersey shared security camera footage of a gas pump bursting into flames after a vehicle pulled away while still refueling.
The Hackensack Fire Department posted a video to Facebook showing what happened Wednesday afternoon at a Lukoil station.
The video shows a vehicle pull away from a gas pump while in mid-refueling, with the nozzle still inserted into the tank.
The pump breaks away from its base and ignites into a fire that the the attendant was able to put out with an extinguisher once the emergency fuel cut-off switch was triggered.
Firefighters said no one was injured in the incident.
