Massive fire breaks out at refinery in El Segundo
"An explosion and fire rocked a refinery in El Segundo on Thursday night, causing massive balls of flames that could be seen for miles.

The orange flames and plumes of smoke were visible for miles in the El Segundo and South Bay area and fire personnel were on scene shooting streams of water at the fire."
"The fire appeared to break out at the Chevron facility. In north Redondo Beach, a massive orange glow was visible and smoke was billowing across the sky Thursday night. Julian Reese, 13, said he and his dad felt a major blast just after 9:30 p.m. and then ran outside, seeing the flames fill the sky. At Aviation Park, just a few miles from the Chevron plant, Mark Rogers was playing in his weekly adult soccer league when the apparent explosion took place."
