Seven injured in explosion at Heaven’s FESCO gas station in Mandeville
Seven persons were
injured in a massive explosion that occurred at the Heaven’s FESCO service
station in Mandeville, Manchester, on Friday evening.
It is understood that four
persons received third degree-burns while three others received minor injuries.
About 12 vehicles were damaged in the blaze.
And as videos of the
incident continue to flood the internet, there is still uncertainty about what
led to the fire that engulfed a major portion of the establishment.
Reports from the fire department on Friday suggested that there was a motor vehicle collision in the vicinity of the station. It was said that one of the vehicles caught on fire and somehow caused ignited the pumps.
However, videos now surfacing
on social media show gas running freely inside the station prior to the
explosion. And based on photos after the blaze, it is being said that the fire
may have been caused when a car was being given a jumpstart while there was a
gas leak.
