The rescue of two children from the car took place last Wednesday, an official from the fuel company said.
“It was not yesterday. It happened last week. More details can be told only after police investigation report,” the official added.
A video leaked online shows the Omani man saving the children from the car after he heard them scream.
The siblings, of Jordanian nationality, were left alone in the vehicle.
When it caught fire, the children began to scream for help.
Within seconds, an Omani national opened the door, reached into the flames and pulled the children out of the car.
As smoke is detected in the vehicle, fuel station officials can be seen rushing to put it out with fire extinguishers.
Meanwhile, the Oman citizen rushes to the vehicle, opens the front door and pulls out a child.
He rushes backs to fuel station officials and hands over the child. Again he runs back to the vehicle to save the second child.
He successfully manages to pull out the second child too.
