It isn't BP this time, but Valero. Hopefully no one is hurt. The cops were pretty thick and I was ran off quickly. Had to get the photo on the fly. Didn't want any trouble.

Yikes. Looks like they dropped a tube in that furnace. Good catch.

Wow Mike, you got to it before I did. They already had it well under control by the time I got mine. I wish you would have gotten your shots from the vantage I did...I was within 200 yards of the fire. Cool.

Oh, and Valero, BP (saw them responding to the fire) and the others handled this with amazing speed. It was all done within an hour. Glad they did so well and no one was hurt.
