HANSCHARIS petrol station Emene Enugu state combust

Fire Incident at Hanscharis Petrol Station in Enugu State Fire engulfed Hanscharis Petrol Station along the Enugu-Abakaliki federal road near Emene Junction in Enugu State, resulting in the destruction of a fuel tank containing 13,000 liters of premium motor spirit (PMS). The fire ignited during the fuel tanker’s discharge process into the underground tank, although thankfully, no motorists were harmed. The fire reportedly started after the tanker had discharged only 2000 liters of fuel. Despite onsite efforts to extinguish the blaze, they were unsuccessful, and the fire service arrived late to salvage any property. The fire service mentioned that their delay was due to attending to fires at other locations. Nevertheless, they managed to prevent the spread of the fire to neighboring properties. Attempts to contact the State Chief Fire Officer, Engr Okwudili Daniel Ohaa, were unsuccessful at the time of filing this report.
