The timely arrival of the Koforidua Municipal Fire engine and the swiftness of detailed personnel prevented what could have been a disaster when the stabiliser affixed to the Automated Teller Machine belonging to Absa Bank caught fire at the Star Oil filling station at the Poly traffic in Koforidua.
A customer Mfodjour Frederick who visited the fuel station to buy fuel noted smoke emanating from a structure where the ATM had been installed.
He then drew the attention of the pump attendants who called the fire service and the bankers from Absa.
The fight fighters who arrived on time asked workers at the fuel station to put off all electrical gadgets before they entered the structure to bring out the stabiliser which was still in flames before putting it off in the open.
The personnel after extinguishing the fire, commended the staff of the fuel station for reaching out to them on time.
