That's less than ideal.

Like someone said, this is happening way too often. What is the security like at refineries like this? cameras everywhere, etc.?

Really glad we dodged the big one with this one.

Yesterday, the cab of a tanker truck caught on fire just off Chippewa Street near the contractor parking lot for Exxon.

I was passing by and stopped to watch the Exxon Rescue and BRFD baws put it out.

I gave some of the Exxon Rescue baws a hard time about how immaculately clean their bunker gear was compared to the baws from Engine Company 2.

Me thinks those baws won’t have clean bunker gear after today’s fire.

Glad everyone is ok.

-there was an explosion (obviously)
- fire was not contained as reported and not a building
-getting water to it was a big problem, causes a couple pipe failures
-still burning but much smaller
