cloud of fire. it seemed like a safe distance. now, he s not so sure. when the explosion happened and i felt the heat and i decided to back away and put cars and a wall between me and the fire. just hide behind. we ll be all right. firefighters are dangerously close to the explosion, but somehow, they survive. the firefighters that were literally ten feet away from the truck, the explosion was on the other side of the truck to where the firefighters were. the entire area becomes a massive inferno, spewing flames and black smoke. it just exploded. tell mom it just exploded. the mood changed massively after that. suddenly, everyone was a little bit worried and a lot of people moved away at that stage. officials evacuate a 1,500 foot radius around the blaze and are on scene for 14 hours.
several other people also start to record the growing fire. the flames get higher. the smoke, thicker. the police and everyone started to get a little worried about the amount of people that were standing, just watching and filming. the chaotic scene spirals out of control. it s going. it s going! then the flames reach a massive amount of fuel and the gas station erupts. i ve never seen anything that big. it was a bit of a shock and sort of stunned me for a second to see such a big fireball go straight up. before the blast, simpson is about 40 feet from the huge cloud of fire. it seemed like a safe distance.
