In a heart-stopping incident captured on CCTV, a man and a woman narrowly escaped a devastating fire triggered by an LPG gas leak inside a house. The video, which has gone viral on social media, shows the duo dangerously close to the leaking cylinder moments before a fiery explosion engulfed the room.
Incident Caught On Camera
The incident reportedly occurred on Wednesday (June 18) around 3 PM, though the exact location remains unknown. CCTV footage reveals a middle-aged woman desperately attempting to control a leaking red-coloured LPG cylinder, but failing to stop the heavy gas discharge. After rushing to seek help, she returns with a man. Both approach the cylinder from different entry points and attempt to tighten the knob on the gas pipe.

The room, filled with accumulated gas, suddenly explodes into a massive blaze while they’re trying to control the leak. Flames rapidly spread from the gas stove, intensifying within seconds.
Swift Thinking Saved Lives
Miraculously, both the woman and the man escape unhurt. The video shows them fleeing the house as the fire erupts behind them. Fortunately, the woman had kept all doors and windows open, allowing much of the gas to dissipate outside. A post sharing the video noted, “They were lucky that all the doors and windows were open, which allowed much of the gas to escape outside and significantly reduced the impact of the explosion.”
Her presence of mind and quick reaction helped avert what could have been a fatal tragedy. There was no loss of life reported, and the timely escape of the two individuals is being hailed online as nothing short of miraculous.
