The fire was said to have begun around
11.00am and spread to other areas, and
several cars parked within the fuel station.
But for the timely intervention of the Oyo
State Fire Service who arrived the scene few minutes later, the situation could have
degenerated as the firemen battled to
extinguish the inferno.

“What we learnt was that it was a fuel tanker.

The tanker suddenly caught fire and spread across the petrol staion. The fire was raging, but the fire fighters succeeded in bringing it under control,” said an eyewitness, who is 9iceunity Admin.

According to Oyo State Fire Service, There
was also radiation in the structure of the fuel station itself. If we had not responded
promptly, the whole station would have been engulfed in fire, but because of our swift response to the emergency, we have been able to prevent it from spreading to other pumps,” he added.
