In a rather unusual incident captured on video, a truck driver whose vehicle caught fire on the road chose not to abandon it or place a distress call to the fire department.
Instead, he drove the burning truck straight to a fire station, leaving many viewers stunned.
The clip, which is currently making the rounds on social media, shows the truck engulfed in flames while the driver kept steering it until he reached the firefighters’ office. On arrival, the fire service personnel quickly swung into action to extinguish the blaze before it caused further damage.
While many found the driver’s boldness amusing, Nigerians on social media expressed both shock and concern, warning against such practices ever happening in the country. Some argued that Nigeria’s fire service may not be adequately prepared for such emergencies.
One netizen quipped: “When Nigerians start doing this, all the firemen in Nigeria will resign. If they start taking the burning vehicles to politicians’ offices or homes, then the government will adequately equip the fire service stations.”LifestyleNigerians React As Man Drives Burning Vehicle To Fire Station Instead Of Calling For Help (Video)
