Beware and alert...everywhere seems to pose danger in our daily life activities including our own home sweet home, shopping mart , food outlet and latest petrol kiosk.
The incident in Kuantan at one of the petrol station was not the first case as a toddler had an over 60% burnt from head to toe due to flame from unidentified source at petrol kiosk.
The husband who was refilling the fuel tank saw the flame coming out from under his car. His immediate and fast actions had spared the worst to his wife and sister in-law.
The wife only had her hair burnt and injured her hands and legs while the sister escaped unhurt.
In both cases, the vehicle engine and handphone were off. Referring to the earlier case, if not mistaken, a study done by Petronas, claimed of static electrical charges as the petrol station was located at a remote area.
So, in this case, what would be a better explanation for the scary and unpredicted incident?

I think this is the best explaination why this can happen...we didn't realise our routine can contribute to this incident....

Thankyou for the information. I think the petrol station operators or the fuel supplier should take the initiative to post the safety precautions that we should take while refueling.
