A fuel station has exploded at Atomic junction in Accra.

The incident happened at about 7:30pm and it's still going on though rain is falling heavily and ECG has taken power.

The fire was said to have started at a Total Fuel station and extended to another station. Pls if you've any family and love ones there call.

It's happening close to my house and from what I can see, (the smoke and everything) it's a big one.

Ghanaians on this forum and Nigerians in Ghana Accra, hope you're safe? I really pray it's not a repeat of June 3rd disaster. God help us.

It's really sad, when we're yet to recover the June 3rd disaster.

qhutetomsel:
Quite a disaster!
My brother just texted me that the explosion was very close to his school and that *he heard the vibration in his room.* He sounded quite shaken. Thank God he is safe and I hope everyone out there is safe too.
Makydebbie it is well!

iamord:

Maybe someone was dancing to one corner

this looks like a Boiling liquid expanding vapor explosion. call the fire guys contain it so it does not spread to another nearby station.

do not use water, its unfortunate it is pouring over there now, the rain water would surely cause a boil-over if there is still enough fuel in the station.

however, your pics brings back some memories...
exactly how the skies of the delta area are lighted up at night whenever SHELL flares (waste) their gases, destroying the environment and give back only a tap water with a funny tasty....

makydebbie:
Amen, I'm just sad here.

Like, seriously?

Makydebbie, what's the situation report now?

makydebbie:
Wow thank God!
Baritas? Wow that's close to total filling station.

I was outside with my mum when the fire went high. It was not something to behold. We pray so too, since there's no light to watch the news and all. I'm relying on Google and live updates from this thread.
