A fire occurs in a petrol station along the A7 motorway when a car runs into 2 fuel pumps, tearing them out of the ground. The elderly driver, who had probably suffered a medical incident, dies in the fire which immediately erupts in his car. The station attendant activates the emergency shut-off for the station’s fuel pumps, and all the vehicles under the same overhang are evacuated. The pumps are equipped with anti-break valves and no explosion occurs. A specialised external company collects the extinction products (powder and foam) and cleans the waste water collection system (oil separators and pipes).
