A massive fire erupted at a Chevron oil refinery that’s about three miles south of Los Angeles International Airport in El Segundo, California Thursday night just after 9:30 p.m. The blaze was so bright and powerful that it lit up the night sky, and flames were visible from miles away. The city of El Segundo closed down nearby roads, and urged nearby residents to stay indoors and shut their windows. That shelter in place order was lifted at around 1 a.m. Friday morning, and the blaze is now fully contained, but not extinguished.
The El Segundo refinery is Chevron’s second-largest facility in the country, and it’s one of the largest refineries in the West. It supplies a fifth of all motor vehicle fuels and 40% of all jet fuel consumed in Southern California, and according to Reuters, the fire erupted in the jet fuel production unit. Fortunately no injuries or deaths were reported as a result of the explosion and fire, and a Chevron spokesperson told Reuters that all workers at the refinery were accounted for.
