Karebo warns that Petrol is a highly inflammable liquid which if not handled carefully can cause a serious fire explosion. In a communique signed by the Public Relations Officer, (PRO), of the service, Abraham Paul, Wednesday in Abuja, he said “Nigerians must resist the temptation of storing PMS in their homes or other confined places due to the current challenge of scarcity, as doing that will endanger their lives and that of others. “As we all know, children like to experiment, so storing PMS at home could be putting them at high risk especially if it is within their reach,” Dr Samson said. He explained that there is always a risk of a fire outbreak or an explosion if there is a source of ignition nearby such as a naked flame or an electrical spark. The Ag CG advised all to that avoid any act capable of leading to fire outbreak in their environment.
