On Wednesday, 11 November 2020 the company confirmed the occurrence of an explosion incident at a LPG filling point at the Mighty Gas station in Ghana. The incident occurred in the early hours of the morning of Wednesday November, 11, 2020 at about 5:13am.

The cause of the explosion which injured 14 people, to staff and customers is unknown yet.

The fire which was restricted to the gas filling point alone due to the safety system put in place by the company was quickly curtailed by the fire service.

The injured are currently receiving treatment at the Ho Teaching Hospital and no deaths were recorded.

It continued that: “the cause of the accident is currently unknown and still under investigation by the Ghana Fire Service” and the company is “cooperating with the fire service and other regulatory bodies to ensure a thorough investigation.”

It further expressed its “sincerest sympathies to all injured and the general public” and wished the injured “a speedy recovery.”

The company added that: “To ensure continuous safety of both staff and customers, the Gas station is closed temporarily to allow for thorough assessment, repairs and improvements.”

The filing station exploded leaving five people injured.

According to residents, they were compelled to call the Ghana National Fire Service following the sound of an explosion from the gas filling station.

The fire was, however, doused due to the swift intervention of the firefighters.

Spectacular explosion! Would've been nice to hear it as well.

Must have been leaking the entire time the guy was filling up. Gas is heavier than air, and sinks, and there was a huge circle of fuel fumes evident when it finally lit off. The fire is 12" off the ground, and the radius is about 25 feet.
