Petrol (Gasoline) + Fire = Bad. It is a common fact that a petrol (or gas) station would be one of the worst places for a fire to start. However, most people don't know what to do in the event that a fire starts in a petrol (gas) station. Without knowing fully, you could find that you are actually making the situation worse.

1 Get away from the vehicle. If the fire starts from the petrol/gas going into your car, do not pull out the pump. All you will succeed in doing is to spread the flaming petrol/gas all over the ground, which could create a much bigger problem. Just get away from the car.

2 Call for help. Yell to anyone nearby and ask them to tell the staff and call the fire brigade.

3 Find the emergency shutdown button. This will stop all petrol/gas from flowing through any pumps at the station, and will reduce the damage if the fire spreads any further.

4 Don't use water. Don't attempt to be a hero and pour water on the fire, for two reasons. Petrol/gas floats on water, and you should never go near any fire that occurs at a petrol/gas station.

5 Extinguish the fire. Judge whether the situation is safe enough for you to help extinguish the fire. All petrol/gas stations are required to have at least two fire extinguishers. Learn how to use a Fire Extinguisher or use sand to help extinguish the fire.

6 Help evacuate the petrol/gas station. Make sure that everyone has evacuated the petrol/gas station and is in a safe place away from the fire.

7 Wait for the fire brigade to arrive. Make sure that you and everyone else is well away from the fire and the whole petrol/gas station. http://m.wikihow.com/React-to-a-Gas-Station-Fire |
