Quick-Acting Woman Puts Out Fire By Car As Others Panic

This is the moment a quick-thinking young woman prevents a car from being set alight as filming onlookers panic and shout but otherwise do nothing from the safety of their balcony.

The incident was filmed on Shkolnaya Street in the city of Novomoskovsk in the western Russian region of Tula Oblast, and the footage was widely shared on social media.

In the video filmed from a resident’s upper-floor window, black smoke is seen bellowing from a parked car on street level.
