    I love how he got right in to action, while all those other guys stood around oblivious to everything. If you are too afraid to help, run! If you're just going to stand around like an idiot, get the hell out of the way!

    Do not operate heavy equipment, unless you actually know how to.

    Everybody was helping, there was only one guy standing there and not nearly in the way.

    There was one guy who jumped up (I assume the tanker operator), climbed on top of the tanker to open the vents, and got back down. Some other guy got a fire extinguisher to put out the fire, and the original guy ran in when the flames were out to turn off the valves on the tanker. The rest were just running around the truck not doing anything.

    The guy trying to get the extinguisher (pink shirt) was having difficulty, three guys went to help, the driver went back to hit the shut off valve after the fire was knocked down.

    No panic, job well done.
