2 gas station workers burned to death
CASTILLEJOS, Zambales - A joke proved to be fatal for two gasoline employees who were burned to death when a gasoline station went ablaze yesterday afternoon some few meters from the municipal building of this town.
Police Super-intendent Jerry Sumbad, chief of police, identified the two victims as Gener Inez, a gasoline boy and a resident of Barangay Nagbunga, San Marcelino, and Isabelita Ferrerra, a gasoline cashier and a resident of Barangay Burgos, San Antonio, this province.
Reports gathered that two gasoline boys were joking with each other when one of them, identified as Benedict Manzano, used a cigarette lighter to ignite the liquid inside the pale he was holding to test if it was gasoline.
Suddenly, the liquid, which turned out to be gasoline, went ablaze. Manzano tried to take the burning pale far from the gasoline station but failed. He dropped the pale due to the flame. This started the fire in the station. Several firetrucks came to extinguish the fire and save several buildings nearby.
Police are now hunting Manzano.
