I think the last pretty big fires were in ‘94 and the Big Blast in ‘89.

Take with a grain of salt, but two towers (pipe stills) blew. Terminology would make me say crude unit, but not sure if XOM uses the term throughout the site.

Our power flickered, and knocked a few things off line when it happened. I'm right across the bayou from it to the north. Still burning away, but it does appear to be "controlled" so to speak to one area.

Is this the plant near the Capitol or the one closer to SU?

They are apologizing for the inconvenience. I don’t know anything about oil refineries but that looks scary AF.

ETA and no injuries, that’s incredible.
