Two People Killed in Massive Overnight Fire at Ohio BP Oil Refinery
A fire at an oil refinery in Ohio killed two people and the facility was shut down Wednesday, officials said.
The fire started Tuesday night at BP's Husky Toledo Refinery, BP spokesperson Megan Baldino said in a statement. There was no word on how it started or the extent of the damage. Baldino said Wednesday that the two workers had died but did not provide their names or further details about the injuries they sustained. She said all other staff were accounted for and the plant was safely shut down.
The refinery, located just east of Toledo, can process up to 160,000 barrels of crude oil per day and “has been an important part of the region’s economy for more than 100 years,” according to BP’s website.Download NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth
