09/03/2005: "Taking No Chances With Gas Trucks"

IPS Owner Charlie Meyer watches fire fighters take preventive actions

Sometimes it seems like these things always happen at the end of a Friday on the start of a three day weekend, but when the brakes overheat on a gas truck it is not good news, and when the truck is parked in a gas station and a fuel yard, the prudent thing is to get the customers out of the area, call the fire department, set up all your fire extinguishers, and hope that the problem is not going to flare up into an emergency, All of which was done by Island Petroleum Services when the brakes overheated on one of their fuel trucks on Friday night.

Thanks to the quick actions by Island Petroleum Services and the fast response by the Fire department, had there been a fire, all the right people and equipment were in place to combat it. As it was, everything turned out all right, and everyone could go back to enjoying the start of the weekend.
