Firefighter Mike Lee was this first to respond to the scene at the West Quick Stop Gas Station just before noon.
A Mercedes had caught fire and was parked next to the pumps.
While pushing the car to safety, his Ford pickup truck stalled and caught fire. The truck was destroyed by the flames.
Lee told the news station that he's just glad he was able to prevent the gas pumps from catching fire.
"I didn't want the station to blow up. We would have had a big problem then," he said. "If I have to do it all over again, yes I would. Trucks are replaceable, lives aren't.
Lee and his wife, Sadie-Diane, have worked as volunteer firefighters for almost two years.
The department is asking for donations to help Lee get a new truck.
Donations can be sent to the Star Fire Department, in care of Mike Lee, P.O. Box 70, Star, MS 39167.
