Delta Petroleum Praises Swift Response to Vehicle Fire at Pasea Service Station

A vehicle fire at the Pasea service station today,  August 27, was quickly contained, thanks to the fast actions of the Fire Department, Delta Petroleum staff and the Royal Virgin Islands Police Force.

The incident occurred when a driver, accompanied by an adult and a child, noticed smoke coming from their vehicle after pulling up to the gas pump. The vehicle was abandoned just before it caught fire.

In a statement, Delta Petroleum acknowledged the efforts of all involved in preventing what could have been a much larger disaster. “Thanks to the swift actions of the Fire Department, our dedicated team members at Delta Petroleum, and the Royal Virgin Islands Police Force, the situation was managed effectively, preventing what could have been a major catastrophe,” the company stated. “We are grateful for their quick response and professionalism, which ensured the safety of all individuals present.”

Fortunately, no injuries were reported, and there was no damage to the station itself, aside from the vehicle, which was safely towed from the premises. Delta Petroleum reassured the public that the Pasea service station has since reopened for normal operations.

The company expressed its gratitude to the community, saying, “We extend our sincerest thanks to the public for their patience and understanding during this incident.” Delta Petroleum also reaffirmed its commitment to safety, emphasizing, “Delta Petroleum is committed to providing safe and reliable service to our customers while prioritising the well-being of our community.”
