Fire is defined as a chemical reaction which involves heat,fuel,oxygen and gas. So to make you understand very well receiving a call can start a fire cos it is being based on radioactivity by that way there will be a chemical reaction. I hope I tried answering your question. ![]() thesicilian: 1 Like |

It's Good initiative and every educative , this information must be contineous exercise .not only in petrol station, its must also applicable to Gas Station. |

thesicilian: A lot of things can cause spark in a petrol station, making a call is not the problem, your phone ringing is the issue, that is why they say put off your phone, so that the spark from your phone will not ignite certain gases. You are also advised to switch off your ignition. |

Re: Making Calls At Filling Stations Is Now A Crime — Police by smalls001: 1:22pm On Dec 31, 2017 |
Wrong!!!!!! Danger is mainly environments saturated with hydrocarbon vapor. Phones can be a source of ignition resulting in explosion/fire. The petrol station's environment is not usually saturated with HC vapor but has the potential to that is why it is discouraged. Same as when you go to areas such as wellheads or other production facilities. Bringing a phone or making calls close to pouring fuel does not necessary cause explosion..... Dannys85: |
Re: Making Calls At Filling Stations Is Now A Crime — Police by smalls001: 1:26pm On Dec 31, 2017 |
Complete clowns. The onus is on the owner of the petrol station to have systems in place to prevent the use of phones and smoking. That is why they have their safety signs posted all around and at the pumps. Where someone refuses to, they have the right to ask him to leave or further call the police if he refuses. It's not for the police to mount checkpoints at every gas station looking for persons making calls. Don't they have better things to do ![]() |

They have beclouded our sense of reasoning with this don't-make-calls-in-filling-stations. Ask them how many filling station has engulfed in fire since this lie has been spreading? No one filling station has been reported, not here in Nigeria, not anywhere in the whole world. Does that mean people are not making calls in the stations? Even attendants in the stations do make and receive calls. Inside depots, wallaahi people are making calls, note my work requests that I go to every depot everyday. The only news that you would hear is that explosion occurred when someone was pouring petrol into his generator while using flashlight in his phone and a call entered. The news is questionable, why only such a thing while calls are making and received besides counter in filling stations and inside depots. Well, Nigeria Police, if true they said it is a crime to make calls, have gotten another means to exploit us. But the news did not mention where and when Mr policeman said it, and what caused it. Well, this is Nigeria. Allaahu Musta'an. |

Pierohandsome:You no get sense... half education is bad... you should have asked why, before exposing your ignorance. receiving phone calls in filling station is dangerous... electromagnetic radiation from the phone can ignite the petrol or gas. It's for your safety. so also with smoking. Let's not react to issues without knowledge |
Re: Making Calls At Filling Stations Is Now A Crime — Police by Emyogalanya: 4:06pm On Dec 31, 2017 |
AS Much I'm Not Against This Move But They Should Pls Make This Statement Clear From OnSet Like This " Police To Start ArrestinG Poor People Who Make Calls At FillinG Stations" EG KeKe DriveRs, okada riders Etc. Just So We Can Know. Its Made Against The Poor And Low Class |
Re: Making Calls At Filling Stations Is Now A Crime — Police by Pierohandsome: 4:17pm On Dec 31, 2017 |
NiRfreak:i am not here to dignify ur poor reasoning with a response , but for the sake of others. The duty of police is to enforce law and not to make laws. Making calls in filling station is a simple safety precaution which proper orientation by every petrol station has to enforce and not the duty of police force. They are quick to take steps in arresting people but dnt respond fast in the case of emergency. If police feel they are maKing sense, let them sponsor a bill to to the national assembly to criminalise it b4 enforcing it, who made them Lawmakers to jst wake up one morning and start deciding whn to criminalise any issue? |

Pierohandsome:Were you not in Nigeria when it was reported of people receiving or making calls thereby setting fuel/gas station on fire? |
Re: Making Calls At Filling Stations Is Now A Crime — Police by Pierohandsome: 9:06pm On Dec 31, 2017 |
Brushless:that is not the duty of police. Every station has safety rules guiding them, they should apply every rules to enforce it not police. The naija police always looking for easy job and loopholes to rob people. What wil the police do, arrest anybody at site with phone with the excuse of making call within the filling station wil become their new avenue of lies to extort innocent citizens |
