The following series of events took place when a car was on fire at a New Zealand petrol station in 2014.

A vehicle with its engine on fire was driven into a petrol station. The driver parked the vehicle 6 metres away from the pumps and opened the car bonnet which caused the fire to intensify.

Employees at the site hit the emergency stop button when they saw the fire and proceeded to the forecourt with their fire extinguishers. The fire was put out by the driver of the vehicle as the employees did not know how to operate a fire extinguisher. Employees then cordoned off the vehicle with tape and cones.

This year’s Fieldays at Mystery Creek in Hamilton boasted just over 126,000 visitors through their gates over four days. This show is now the largest Agricultural event of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere.

As a returning exhibitor at Fieldays, Allied Petroleum had a great deal of interest from visitors enquiring about diesel fuel and lubricants for their farm. We were also delighted to see large a number of our loyal customers drop in to have a chat with our team on site.

Visitors to the site kindly completed our customer needs survey and in doing so entered into the Allied Petroleum Fielday’s draw – the “Win a kid’s ride on tractor”. With four kid’s tractors to giveaway, it was a great opportunity to draw one lucky winner on a daily basis over the four days.

Congratulations to the following winners of the Fieldays “Kid’s ride on tractor” competition:
