Owner Kesorn Satta, 45, said she was boiling water in the back of the truck when the picnic-sized gas tank she uses burst into flames. She ran quickly from the truck expecting the cannister to explode. It didn’t.

Officials speculated fumes leaked from the tank and were ignited by the open flame.

Everyone in the area rushed in to help put out the fire, including the policeman with a bucket of water.
