Refinery
Fire .
On April 16, 2005 at approximately 3AM Long Beach Fire, LACO mutual
aid and FireChannel Videographer Rich Cowgill responded to reports of
a refinery fire in North Long Beach. Apparently it started when a 8"
high pressure supply line burst and ignited in the hot temperatures
surrounding the refinery and a 2nd alarm was called by Command. Firefighters
held the flames at bay and cooled the valves until the fuel could be
safely shut off. Total time until knockdown was approximately 90 minutes
and there were no injuries. Click on the link above to view the raw
footage streamed from LBFDTraining.com.
