A fire broke out at a gas station in Non Sawang, Chiang Yuen District, Khon Kaen Province, involving an oil tanker at approximately 21:50 on October 26. The fire originated in a road tanker which was parked next to a storage tank and another road tanker.

 

Thanks to swift intervention by emergency responders, the fire was contained to the immediate area around the tanker and the truck itself. Responders used water curtains, from hose-lines to prevent it from spreading to the other tanks, fuel pumps or nearby buildings. 

 

Firefighters and emergency crews then worked quickly to manage the flames, using foam to initial control and the then extinguish the fire. One local resident escaping the fire, as she feared it would spread to her home, suffered burns to her feet, after running through the burning, spreading fuel.

 

Local authorities continued to monitor the scene, ensuring the fire remained contained, throughout the night. Officials are also conducting an investigation to determine the cause of the blaze.

I'm sure it was an accident as all safety protocols would have been followed to the letter.
