Worker risks his life using soda bottles to extinguish raging electrical fire

A utility worker in Venezuela has gone viral after using bottles of soda to put out a blazing electrical transformer in a dangerous maneuver that could have ended in disaster. The incident occurred on November 2 in Valle de la Pascua, Venezuela, where a worker reportedly employed by the state-owned electricity company Corpoelec found himself facing a transformer engulfed in flames. Rather than reaching for a fire extinguisher, however, the man decided to use something considerably less conventional: two-liter bottles of soda, identified as the Venezuelan brand 'Glup'.
