Cape Town – Cape Town Fire and Rescue services are on the scene at Astron Energy in Milnerton due to an underground fuel leak.
Cape Town Traffic spokesman Richard Coleman said Cape Town Fire Services, as well as Astron Energy Fire Services, were on the scene trying to locate the exact location of the leak.
“Due to reports of an underground fuel leak at Astron Energy, we have several road closures in the area. Roads have been closed at Koeberg and Plattekloof, Tanzanite and Ruby Boulevard which is in the circle, and Plattekloof to the west closed on N7.
“We have all the emergency services in place,” he said.
Coleman updated to say that the northbound N7 link to Plattekloof and Plattekloof West to the N7 has been reopened.
Earlier this month, Astron Energy said that after the refinery explosion that occurred on July 2, all seven injured in the incident are out of the hospital and are recovering well.
“Three of them have already returned to work. We continue to provide the necessary support. The research team continues to make good progress and looks forward to completing its remaining activities in the coming weeks.
“Several projects have been started to plan the safe restart of the refinery, but it is still too early to determine when it will be. Until then, Astron Energy will ensure the security of supply in the Western Cape of gasoline, diesel and marine bunker fuel, ”the company said.
