Gas and Kerosene: A Potentially Explosive Situation

There was a possible explosive situation in the city of Rocky Mount Tuesday. It has the fire department there issuing a warning and a recall.

They say a fuel delivery company mistakenly mixed gasoline into a kerosene tank at the Trade Mart on Sunset Avenue. They say about 900 gallons of the dangerous mixture, which could cause fires or even explosions, has been sold.

If you purchased the mixture between January 11 and January 22, you're urged to return it. Fire officials say there have been several fires in the past week involving kerosene heaters, but they're not sure yet if they are related.
