Sewage outs fire at service station in Jamaica

Congratulations must go out to the operators of an Allied Cesspool truck in Jamaica. These persons saved the day when they saw danger and risked their lives to put out a fire at a Shell Gas Station in Manor Park, Kingston.

What is interesting is that the men and the gas station personnel tried in vain to contact the Fire Brigade. With no answers coming, the operators of an Allied Cesspool truck took matters into their own hands and used the smelly contents of their truck to douse the fire. The men even reported on TV that they called their company and asked to send a truck with water, which they did, and they used that second truck to finish cooling down operations.

When the Fire Brigade, finally arrived, all they had to do was the investigation and cleaning up.

Again congratulations to courageous citizens you made the difference but serious questions remain about our fire services.

That goes to show what I know about science. I wouldn't have thought one could use "the smelly contents" to out a fire especially since "the smelly contents" are often termed "biogas". I really wouldn't have thought you could use some variation of gas to douse a fire.

And so I did my research and came to find that it is actually not the sewage that is the biogas that can be burnt to produce energy but it is the methane that is produced from the breaking down of the sewage that is the actual gas.

Some scientist could help me get it 100% right if I still have not nailed the biogas concept.

But quick thinking Allied Cesspool.

It goes to show that in the year 2007, Jamaica has yet to improve on the little things such as working fire trucks and proper water facility which is vital to the development of the country.
It is ironic that in less than 3 years, a stadium was built and massive renovation was done at Sabina Park, yet people had to use s**t to out fire.
