Emergency responders arrived quickly after reports of an explosion and massive flames, with witnesses describing the blast as feeling like a small earthquake. The fire produced large flames and smoke visible for miles, but no injuries have been reported so far. Firefighters contained the blaze within one area of the refinery, and no evacuation orders were issued for local residents, tho officials advised them to remain indoors and avoid the area. Air quality officials noted there have been no significant changes in air pollution yet but warned conditions could worsen as smoke settles. California Governor Gavin Newsom&#8217;s office is coordinating with emergency responders to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/minnesota-governor-calls-in-national-guard-ahead-of-trial-over-george-floyds-death\/\" title=\"Minnesota Governor Calls In National Guard Ahead Of Trial Over George Floyd\u2019s Death\">ensure public safety<\/a>. The Chevron refinery, operational since 1911, spans roughly 1,000 acres and can process up to 290,000 barrels of crude oil daily, primarily producing fuels like gasoline, jet fuel, and diesel. The cause of the fire remains under inquiry. <br \/> <!DOCTYPE html><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Large fire breaks out at Chevron refinery near Los Angeles<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2363138\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>A large fire erupted at a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/chevron\/\">Chevron<\/a> oil refinery located in El Segundo, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/california\/\">California<\/a>, on Thursday night.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Police officers, firefighters, and other first responders were on the scene after <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wisconsin-city-accused-of-electioneering-during-early-voting\/\" title=\"Wisconsin City Accused Of Electioneering During Early Voting\">receiving multiple reports<\/a> of an explosion and massive flames, according to various reports.
