On the morning of February 24, a car became engulfed in flames next to the Olerex gas station located on Laagna Road in Tallinn. The incident necessitated a swift response from multiple emergency and patrol units who arrived on the scene to manage the situation. Firefighters were able to bring the fire under control without causing any major disruption to the area.

Authorities have stated that the situation is now under control, indicating there were no injuries reported from the incident. However, the fire raised concerns given the proximity to a gas station, which could have posed additional hazards had the flames spread or if there had been an explosion. Emergency services conducted required checks to ensure the area was safe following the incident, and traffic was monitored as normal operations resumed.

This incident highlights the critical role of emergency responders in rapidly addressing such emergencies, preventing what could have escalated into a more dangerous scenario. City officials may also review safety protocols and emergency response strategies in light of this event to assure public safety near fuel stations in the future.
