A young woman sustained burns on 60% of her body when she was engulfed by flames as she was using her phone while filling petrol in her car at a petrol station in Setapak Indah, Kualar Lumpur, Malaysia today, June 28. "A spark ignited from the pump and triggered a reaction with her handphone," said Kuala Lumpur Fire and Rescue Department operations chief, Samsol Maarif Saibani.
Firemen were alerted to the incident at 1.25pm and deployed five personnel from the Wangsa Maju Fire and Rescue Department.
Numerous signs are posted at petrol stations warning customers against using their phone there, especially when filling up petrol as it could trigger a fire. However, these signs are often ignored.
Please, let us all be Careful, and, strictly adhere to safety signs!
