Horsedoc - Exploding fumes.
The city where I was employed as a F/F for 30 years had a bulk plant.
One evening, a trucker was fueling his double tanker with gasoline. Went to chat with the security guard in the guard shack.
The overflow protection failed, major spill on the ground. He had left the engine running on his (diesel) tractor. The engine began to "run away" when it picked up the fumes.
He made a futile (and fatal) attempt to run back and shut off the engine. It went "boom" big time. Second big time boom when the second tank of the double failed. F/F was on a (foam) deck monitor for the 2nd one - said he left "claw marks" in the diamond plate on top of the apparatus due to the heat wave.
The tank/s failure: It's called a "BLEVE" - Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapor Explosion.
AFFF did it's job - but not fast enough to stop the 2nd explosion.
No structures nearby.
