A potentially catastrophic fire involving a petrol tanker was swiftly brought under control by the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) on Sunday in the town of Grupe, located in the Savannah Region.<\/p>\n

The incident occurred around 11:11 am, when GNFS received a distress call reporting a fire involving a fuel tanker with registration number GT-9305-25.<\/p>\n

According to a post shared on Facebook by GNFS, the tanker, which was transporting petrol at the time, caught fire on Sunday, October 5, under circumstances yet to be determined.<\/p>\n

Fire crew members from the Sawla and Bole Fire Stations were immediately dispatched to the scene, led by officers on duty.<\/p>\n

Reinforcements from Bole later joined the effort, and the blaze was successfully contained by 12:15 pm, just over an hour after the initial alert.<\/p>\n

The GNFS noted that the contents of the tanker remained intact, and no injuries have been reported. The cause of the fire is currently under investigation by the GNFS.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
