Car erupts in flames. In a fueling lane at the Kwik Trip on Fourth Street in Austin. A police officer who happened to be nearby steered his squad car into the flames and bumper to bumper shoved the flaming car away from the gas pumps. The pumps sit atop underground tanks each with 12,000 to 24,000 gallons of fuel. Firefighters were called to put out the fire in the car. Image: Carol Mills
