Yesterday I passed the Shell petrol station at Manor Park a few hours after it had been damaged by fire. There was a burnt out truck by the pumps and the area was cordoned off with a yellow tape, marked
Police crime scene Do not cross Police crime scene Do not cross
I imagined some kind of holdup gone wrong, but the real story was much more bizarre …
At about 9:00 a.m., a pump at the Shell service station at 211 Constant Spring Road exploded into flames setting off chaos. “After mi start to pump di gas inna a container like mi usually do, mi only si di flame a come out a did pump, mi scream an run,” remarked David Levy, a customer.
He continued that what happened next left him in awe as workers on a cesspool truck set about spraying the flames that engulfed the pump, a pickup truck and the surroundings with raw sewage.

Ewwwwwwwww, yuck! Was it still smelly when you passed by?
Saved by quick stinking, as it were.
But you must praise the guys for some quick thinking, even if it was a wee bit messy and smelly.
Yeah, I heard it was smelly, but by the time I was going home they had done a good job in cleaning it up
