Moment Bungling Mechanic Puffs On Raging Fire Like Blowing Out A Candle

This is the moment two bungling mechanics set fire to an oil pump before one of them tries to put out the billowing flames by blowing on them.

The incident took place at a car workshop in the city of Tacheng in the north-western Chinese region of Xinjiang.

According to the news site The Paper, two mechanics were working on an oil pump when they accidentally set it ablaze.

While one of them tried to extinguish the flames on his hand, his colleague tried to blow out the fire in a moment of panic.

Luckily, his quick-thinking pal had the smarts to grab the nearby fire extinguisher and put out the fire safely and correctly.

In the CCTV footage, the pair is seen working on a car part in the workshop when a fire suddenly breaks out.

The hand of one mechanic is set on fire and he shakes it vigorously to put out the flames.

While the mechanic runs to get the fire extinguisher, his colleague crouches down and apparently puffs on the raging flames like he would if blowing out the candles on a birthday cake.

At the end of the clip, his quick-thinking pal is seen putting out the fire properly with the extinguisher.

It is unclear if the mechanic needed medical treatment for burns injuries to his hand.
