As you can seen from the video a line of gasoline from the vehicle ran down the curb but a quick thinking firefighter spread dirt from the curb to stop the spread of the fire down the street.

Quick thinking from the firefighters and assistant fire chief on scene kept the fire just to the vehicle and not into the building.
