A truck driver in Changsha, Hunan Province, China, made an unusual decision this week when he noticed smoke and flames spreading through his cargo hold, which was loaded with cardboard boxes.
Instead of pulling over to the side of the road and waiting for emergency services, he drove straight to the nearest fire station.
Firefighters who spotted the burning truck approaching wasted no time. Some were still in the middle of a training drill when they grabbed their equipment and rushed toward the vehicle. Within minutes, they brought the fire under control and prevented it from spreading further.
