A car crashed into a gas station pump as a customer was fuelling his car, sparking a fire and sending a giant cloud of black smoke into the air above Burnaby, B.C., on Monday afternoon.

Fortunately no one was hurt and a quick-thinking attendant switched off the fuel at the Mohawk gas station and the fire was put out.

The streets around the station near the intersection of Canada Way and Edmonds Street east of Vancouver were shut down by emergency officials as they dealt with the situation.
