Fuel tanker explodes, injures one person at Techiman Excel Filling Station

November 14, 2018
A cargo truck close to the tanker also caught fire but fire fighters managed to prevent it from burning.

A fuel tanker on Tuesday evening exploded at a fuel filling station in Techiman in the Brong Ahafo Region injuring one person.

The injured was rushed to the Holy Family Hospital in Techiman for medical attention.

The tanker, registered GN5392 -11, was being prepared to offload fuel into an underground tank at the Techiman Excel Fuel Station, when it exploded and went up in flames.Though a distress call was placed to the Ghana National Fire Service in Techiman on time, the personnel appeared helpless as there was no fire tender available to extinguish the fire. The only tender in the town has been broken down.

One of the tenders from Nkoranza and Wenchi

“For over 40 minutes, there was no firefighting engine in Techiman to fight the explosion. Their fighting engine had broken down,” our correspondent Johnson Takyi reported Tuesday
