Complete with a, an or the
raging pipeline fire in Jesse, Delta State which killed over 700 people last weekend was yesterday extinguished by United States fire-fighting company by suffocating flames with thick nitrogen-rich layer of foam.
Workmen from Houston, Texas-based company BJ Services spent less than hour shooting nitrogen-rich foam from hoses onto pipeline before finally choking out fire which raged on for days.
A company official said they had extensive experience in oil fires, and approached government about putting out blaze.
The explosion and fire erupted while over 1,000 people were trying to collect gasoline spilling from the damaged government-owned pipeline. Hundreds of people were believed to have been injured, but many have refused medical care or fled from hospitals, fearing they might be arrested for either causing fire or scavenging gas.
