Some 1000 gallons of fuel spilled at SCB
Several fire officers from the British Virgin Islands Fire & Rescue Service were on hand along with a fire tender and a utility truck, which brought a quantity of sand to assist with absorbing the spillage.
Station Officer Melvin Jeffers of the Virgin Islands Fire & Rescue Service told this news site that a staff member of VI Motors [Sydney], “was refuelling a truck to take to the station and apparently one of the valves was shut off” which resulted in the spill.
According to the Officer, an estimated 1000 gallons of fuel was leaked during the mishap. He expressed that the fuel was not highly flammable but all precautions were being taken to ensure there was no danger to the situation.
Officer Jeffers indicated that the VIF&R responded immediately to the mishap in order to prevent or minimise the chance of any vehicular accidents occurring as a result of the spillage.
