In a press release late Tuesday, August 27, 2024, Delta Petroleum reported that a driver accompanied by two passengers—one adult and one child—entered the Pasea service station and abandoned their vehicle at the gas pump when it began to smoke and subsequently caught fire.
“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. We are grateful for their quick response and professionalism, which ensured the safety of all individuals present,” Delta Petroleum reported.
No injures or damage to property
Fortunately, there were no injuries reported, and no physical damage occurred to property, aside from the vehicle, which was safely towed from the premises, the press release said.
Delta Petroleum also announced that the Pasea service station has reopened for normal operations.
“We extend our sincerest thanks to the public for their patience and understanding during this incident.
Delta Petroleum is committed to providing safe and reliable service to our customers while prioritizing the well-being of our community,” the press release stated.
