Washington: Plumes of smoke towered above a Chevron oil refinery in southern California late on Thursday following reports of an explosion, although the company said no one was hurt.
Video clips shared online by residents in El Segundo, a coastal suburb a few miles south of the Los Angeles International Airport, showed a massive fireball rising from the refinery with a loud, extended rumble.
Chevron spokesperson Allison Cook told AFP there were no injuries and that all refinery personnel and contractors had been accounted for.
"Chevron fire department personnel, including emergency responders from the City of El Segundo and Manhattan Beach, are actively responding to an isolated fire inside the Chevron El Segundo Refinery," she said.
El Segundo Mayor Chris Pimentel said earlier that the cause of the fire remained unclear, according to local TV station K-CAL News.
