A fire broke out at a Shell gas station on Jl. Daan Mogot, West Jakarta, on Wednesday night, injuring two.

West Jakarta Fire and Rescue Agency operational head Eko Sumarno confirmed that the fire started at around 9:40 p.m. and it was suspected the incident was caused by a fuel leak. 

Firefighters managed to put out the blaze not long after.

“Two employees [of the gas station] suffered burn wounds,” Eko said on Wednesday night as quoted by Antara news agency. 

Though the fire had been put out, Eko said two fire trucks were assigned to monitor the gas station in case of further blazes.

“For the moment, two firefighter vehicles have been prepared at the location as a precaution, since there is still spilled fuel [at the gas station],” he said. (kmt)
