most likely the electricity is turned off in the area which would turn off the pump. It sounds like the gas station caught fire too quickly to get to the pump shutoff. It's the gases from the fuel that burn so the tank is probably safe if the pump is off and tank is full - gasses build up in tanks with less fuel. Propane is another story and dangerous if it's present at the gas station.
Without electricity the pump can not pump the fuel to the surface.
This story is developing and I am working on it. If you want to be spoon fed your in the wrong place.
Developing story…in the video the camera pans to the police blocking the road. From here I would look for a police scanner.

Back-to-back wet years in Los Angeles set a rainfall record
The latest back-to-back water years have become the wettest on record for Los Angeles since the late 1800s, with more than 52 inches falling since October 2022. And officials say more is on the way.

After a comparatively dry fall in Southern California, there was a point last December when it seemed like the fears of a strong, wet El Niño winter may have been overblown.
So much for that.
