Earlier in April, a Vivo Energy Shell Petrol Station in Kasarani burst into flames.
A preliminary report indicated that the fire started after a vehicle fueled at the station and sped off while the pump was still inside the tank opening.
This led to the pump being disconnected from the anchorage and dragged to about 30 metres away. Friction between the ground and pump produced sparks which ignited a fire that quickly spread.
"There was extensive damage to the entire petrol station but there is no report of personal injury as all staff and members of the public were evacuated to the assembly point," the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) disclosed.
The commission later confirmed that the motorist had been apprehended by the police.
