    Comrade, no schmoking by de gas pumps. Looks like vapor coming from the pumps on the right and it started by that white car, and something is going on behind the tree. Looks awful suspicious.

    I'm sure the firefighters got in a wreck on the way over due to Russia's ridiculous road system. Only a sadist puts down asphalt, but doesn't put signs or lights at intersections, or dots or lines designating lanes on a 2 lane or more road. Some parts of Russia resemble our road system, but many others make surviving the trip to work or home an Olympic sport.

    That looked like natural gas leaking, to me. It seems a backfire from the car set it off, I could not help but wonder why that car just sat there for so before the ignition. I wonder if there were any windows left intact on that car and if the drivers ears were bleeding, bet he had to change his shorts!:biggrin_2554:

    Fumes equal greater volatility, vaporous fuel is much more dangerous than liquid fuel.
