The incident happened at around 10 30pm Saturday 13th Dec, me and my family members were sitting in the lounge and suddenly the doors & windows started vibrating loudly, i thought its an earth quake so everyone ran out of the house but the story was totally different, the sky became Orange with the fire and everyone started to rush, the fire was on the petrol pump right in front of our street, there were big clouds of fire, this is what was happening:
A 40,000 liters Oil Tanker caught fire when it was off loading, we called Rescue 1122 and they arrived within few minutes, a total of 18 Fire brigades arrived within 30mins (including the fire brigade from the Airport as well)
After around 1 hour and 30mins, the fire fighters managed to control the fire, Thanks to Allah everyone was safe during the incident without any kind of injuries.
I was literally shocked after watching the complete incident from my eyes, i have never seen anything like that in my life, i have no word's to describe what was going on that time... Once again Thanks to Allah for keeping everyone safe.
Some pictures i took on the Sunday morning, the loss was estimated around 40-50 million rupees.
