Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Two Karoi fuel dealers who were seriously injured following a fuel explosion in a house on Saturday, have died at Sally Mugabe Central Hospital in Harare.<\/p>\n

The deceased have been identified as Cliff Mwanza (30) and Sibangeni Macheza. Their colleague Tafadzwa Zanga (30) died on Sunday.<\/p>\n

The three men were trapped in a house that was engulfed in fire from the explosion in the Chikangwe high-density suburb.<\/p>\n

The deputy spokesperson for the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) in Mashonaland West Province, Assistant Inspector Aggray Jaure confirmed the development to NewsDay<\/b> on Monday. He said:<\/p>\n

I confirm the death of Cliff Mwanza and Sibangeni Macheza both aged (30) due to severe burning wounds sustained from a fuel explosion in Karoi on Saturday.
\nPolice say Mwanza, Macheza and Zanga went to a house in Chikangwe intending to refuel their container from one of the two rooms they used to store fuel.<\/p>\n

It is reported that one of the petrol containers exploded, setting the house ablaze.<\/p>\n

They were later rescued after sustaining serious burns.<\/p>\n

Here are some important safety measures to keep in mind to prevent similar accidents:<\/p>\n

Store flammable liquids in approved containers: Use containers specifically designed for flammable liquids, such as safety cans, to reduce the risk of leaks and spills.<\/p>\n

Store flammable liquids in a well-ventilated area away from ignition sources such as open flames, sparks, and heat sources. Use appropriate storage cabinets if necessary.<\/p>\n

When transferring flammable liquids, use grounded equipment to prevent static electricity buildup, which can ignite the vapours.<\/p>\n

Wear appropriate PPE such as goggles, gloves, and flame-resistant clothing when working with flammable liquids.<\/p>\n

Prohibit smoking in areas where flammable liquids are used or stored.<\/p>\n

Have appropriate fire extinguishing equipment nearby and ensure all personnel are trained in emergency procedures in case of a spill or fire.<\/p>\n
