Fire has consumed a Goil fuel
station at Tarkwa business center in the Nsuaem municipality.
Divisional Fire Officer Grade 3
(D03), Alex Assiem, disclosed that an employee was tasked by the fuel
authorities to service two fuel pumps at the station.
In the discharge of his duties,
some friction happened which set the portion he was working on at the time on
fire.
The mechanic sustained serious
injuries and is currently receiving treatment at the hospital.
The Fire Service was called to
the scene, but the layout of the community made it impossible to reach on time,
leaving intervention in the hands of residents.
Mr Assiem, however, expressed
his displeasure over how to get to the Tarkwa main station since the place had
been taken over by businessmen, making it impossible to have their annex at that
location.
Cause of the fire has not yet
been ascertained, but the Fire Officer believes the dry season could be a
catalyst.
