A tanker truck caught fire at a Valdez refinery Monday afternoon, triggering multiple reports of an explosion and a dramatic black plume of smoke visible for miles.
Emergency crews responding to reports of a fire and explosion just after 5 p.m. arrived at the refinery at approximately 5:20 p.m. and discovered an active fire involving a tanker truck inside the refinery’s loading area, according to an update late Monday from the City of Valdez. The fire was contained to the truck and loading rack area.
Petro Star is working to conduct a thorough review to determine the cause of the fire, an ASRC statement said. The company “is thankful to the Valdez Fire Department and the Alyeska Pipeline Service Company Fire Department for their services and quick efforts to minimize damage and prevent any injuries.”
