As per fire officer Om Jadeja the truck loaded with LPG cylinders was on its way to Ahmedabad and stopped at the petrol pump to refuel. The driver parked the truck around 20 foots away and went to have food in a nearby dhaba. However to his shock the truck went up in flames and everyone present there ran away to save themselves.
