Following a gas tanker explosion, numerous individuals, disregarding their own safety, sprang into action to help the injured.

Upon arriving, he described the scene as terrifying, with people running in all directions, engulfed in flames. He recounted how a burning young man ran towards him; he immediately extinguished the flames, wrapped him in a blanket, and helped him sit down.

He further explained that he then saw three people trapped in a car, whom he helped rescue. After leaving them a short distance away, he rushed towards a bus where he found a woman and two children. He moved them away from the immediate danger, placing them in a ditch and covering them to protect them from the flames.

Undeterred Despite Burning Eyes and Breathing Difficulties

Shera explained that a massive blast soon rocked the gas tanker. He experienced burning eyes and difficulty breathing. Despite rescuing seven or eight people, all of whom were seriously injured, he persevered. When vehicles failed to arrive, he arranged transport from his home. With the help of others, he transported six injured individuals to the nearest hospital in his own vehicle. However, the injured suffered greatly during the journey.

His brother and colleagues assisted him throughout. They transported approximately 22 people from the scene to the hospital.

Never Witnessed Such an Accident Before
