‘Swift actions’ prevented a possible major catastrophe- Delta Petroleum
In a press release late Tuesday, August 27, 2024, Delta Petroleum reported that a driver accompanied by two passengers—one adult and one child—entered the Pasea service station and abandoned their vehicle at the gas pump when it began to smoke and subsequently caught fire.
“Thanks to the swift actions of the Fire Department, our dedicated team members at Delta Petroleum, and the Royal Virgin Islands Police Force, the situation was managed effectively, preventing what could have been a major catastrophe. We are grateful for their quick response and professionalism, which ensured the safety of all individuals present,” Delta Petroleum reported.

Fortunately, there were no injuries reported, and no physical damage occurred to property, aside from the vehicle, which was safely towed from the premises, the press release said.
Delta Petroleum also announced that the Pasea service station has reopened for normal operations.
“We extend our sincerest thanks to the public for their patience and understanding during this incident.
Delta Petroleum is committed to providing safe and reliable service to our customers while prioritizing the well-being of our community,” the press release stated.

The propaganda is lame for this story.
Homegirl was just being foolish and endangered everyone around her. She should own up to it and move on.
Just stop the car on the road and get out to safety.
I've heard 2024
U
Telling me she left a child on
Top of that in d flaming car ?
U telling me she couldn't take the child and out the vehicle
Of course the gas station wanted the vehicle out of there ASAP
She should be charged for endangering the gas station and its staff and customers
I mean how dumb can someone be ?
So their were two adults and one child in the burning vehicle. So both adult proved to be ignorant about what could have happened.
It did took a certain amount of minuit for the Fire Department fir fighters arrived at the scene to ultimately out the fire out. This report introduce a question by me. Does or doesn't Delta Gas Station has fire extinguishers readily available at the service station. Yes, I suppose.
In spite of, please allowed me to offer a life-protection suggestion, bellow.
In the future all vehicles to enter a Petrol Station for liquid gas must first be given permission. A Station Guard should be employed by the Gas Station being responsible to ensure no smoking, no Cell operating and no vehicle on fire. In addition to those fire prevention safety acts. No Taxis should be allowed to enter any Gas Station to drop off or pickup passengers.
We were greatly blessed that a major disaster dis not happened yesterday. If we fail to learned from our errors, and act proactively, we will repeat them at our expense. Amen.
