Hyderabad: A major accident was averted at a Hindustan Petroleum (HP) petrol bunk located on the National Highway 44 in Shadnagar after a fuel dispenser caught fire, allegedly due to a short circuit.
The accident occurred at around 7:20 am on Friday, July 3, when a car drove off while the fuel gun was still in its tank. “The tension must have caused some electrical wires to snap, causing a short circuit” an official from the Shadnagar Fire Station told Siasat.com.
In a video, flames and smoke are seen billowing from the fuel dispenser that has fallen on the ground. The staff present at the bunk quickly doused the flames with a fire extinguisher, and the situation was mostly under control by the time the fire tender arrived.
Staff estimated a damage of around Rs 1 lakh.
