FLAME GRILLED

In Turkey a man has received widespread acclaim for his bravery. A fuel tanker caught fire at a filling station and the man initially tried to stem the flames but when he realised his efforts were fruitless, and as others ran for safety, the man jumped into the cab and drove the burning truck away. Flames shot from the rear of the truck as he drove it to a safe distance from the filling station, located in izmir province.
