Narrative

Job mechanic had removed the old filtering system from the diesel fueling station so as to install a new larger system. Some spillage resulted. As he proceeded to weld on the bumper of the fueling station, the diesel spillage caught on fire and spread along the station. He could not control the fire in time by extinguishers, thus destroying the fueling station.
