    The Romanian capital confirmed reports of an explosion as the fire spread towards two tanks and a nearby house, while a second fire was reported as the first was put out.<\/p>\n

    Workers on the scene attempted to put out the blaze before it erupted in a blinding inferno which spread through the streets of Bucharest forcing many to run for their lives.<\/p>\n

    Video footage shared on social media captured the harrowing sounds of large bangs from the LPG station, with billowing smoke and raging flames creating terrifying war-like scenes.<\/p>\n

    A massive plume of fire could also be seen, with the liquified petroleum gas exploding in a ball of extreme heat, albawabanews reported.<\/p>\n

    Romanian emergency rescue service SMURD says the second explosion took place shortly after the first blast, while several burn victims were transported to hospital.<\/p>\n
