Tanker-1

A fire disaster was averted on Wednesday at the Murtala Mohammed Airport (MMA) 2 in Lagos State, south west Nigeria.

The tanker was reportedly conveying diesel from Apapa to a location in Ogba Area of the nation’s commercial city, when it suddenly burst into flames in front of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) headquarters, close to MMA 2’s multi-storey car park.

Water hydrants were promptly deployed by the management of Bi-Courtney Aviation Services Limited for use by the fire fighters from FAAN to put out the inferno which left the tanker half burnt.

Fire fighters from FAAN were said to have mobilised to the scene but could not do anything because there was no water in their fire truck.

The incident however, caused heavy gridlock and diversion of traffic around the airport.
