"Lightning strike".
Coincidentally, zero rainfall.

In those kind of fires you just put your efforts on keeping from catching anything else on fire around it and hope it burns itself out. In that strategy on this incident I would be afraid the tank containment would fail before the contents are gone.

Cuba has had a good idea forced upon them in regards to keeping the old shitboxes running. Maintain, fix, and keep driving. We need some of that here.

From lightning??? Or did the lightning cause an explosion which blew the top off?

Is this the old Exxon or Texaco refinery?

Fake news, just look at that old arse car. Oh wait I forgot they had to drive that shite because of the same shite frickers in this country crave

They should just ask their communist father for help. They know all about containing big industrial explosions.
