A fire at a Chevron refinery in Richmond, California has sent up a five-mile plume of smoke, prompting a Bay Area notice for nearby residents to close windows and switch off air conditioning units.
Witnesses reported explosions around 6:30 p.m. PDT, but the cause of the explosions is not yet known. There have not yet been reports of injuries.
Crazy. I don’t live too far from here.
