A fire broke out at Chevron’s refinery in El Segundo, California, prompting emergency response teams to rush to the scene and assess the situation. Local authorities confirmed that no injuries have been reported so far.
The blaze affected part of the facility, though Chevron said operations were not expected to be fully halted. Firefighters are working to contain the fire, and investigators are monitoring air quality in nearby neighborhoods to ensure community safety.
El Segundo lies just south of Los Angeles, and the refinery plays a role in supplying fuel to parts of Southern California. The incident has drawn attention against a backdrop of heightened scrutiny on refinery safety and regional environmental concerns.
Chevron is coordinating with local fire agencies and regulators to determine the cause and mitigate any further risk. Additional updates are expected as investigations continue.
