WATCH: Front-end loader puts out car fire in Texas

With flames leaping from Carmona's car, and the fire truck having difficulty accessing the area, the folks across the street at Bane Machinery jumped into action. An employee jumped into one of the company's front-end loader tractors, rolled through the floodwaters and dumped two buckets of water on the car to put out the fire.

Firefighters were able to take over the job from there.

Carmona was seeking shelter from the rain so she didn’t witness Bane Machinery’s novel firefighting method, WFAA reported.
