Dramatic footage shows Firefighters arrive on the scene of a Dundee petrol station after fire engulfed a car just yards from the fuel pumps.
The driver of a red BMW pulled her car into a petrol station in East Market Gate, Dundee, when the engine warning lights came on.
She exited the vehicle just before it burst into flames and a fire raged around the bonnet and front wheels.
It was parked just metres from pipes connecting to underground tanks containing thousands of litres of fuel.
Station employees quickly switched off the fuel lines and diverted traffic and passers-by from a nearby swimming pool.
Onlookers stood and watched the blaze from the forecourt of the Shell Discovery station, despite the risk that the car – and even the station – could explode.
The video shows pedestrians looking and pointing at the car from just around the corner, as firefighters raced to the scene.
Onlookers can be heard saying “We’re lucky it’s not exploded yet” as the emergency services tackled the blaze.
