Panic and chaos erupted earlier today when a fuel tanker began leaking heavily in a community yet to be identified, drawing residents who rushed to the scene with pans and containers to scoop the spilling fuel.

Eyewitnesses reported that some youth hurriedly gathered at the scene, scooping up the highly flammable liquid despite the obvious danger.

The fuel was said to be gushing from underneath the tanker, creating large pools across the ground.

In a moment that captured both irony and desperation, one resident was heard sternly warning others not to bring any naked flames near the site-just as he joined in collecting the fuel himself. "Don't bring fire here!" he cautioned, as he scrambled to fill his pan.
