A fire that broke out at the Crossbridge Energy oil refinery in Fredericia, Denmark, has been brought under control by local firefighters. The prompt response from emergency services prevented the fire from spreading further and minimized potential risks.
While the exact cause of the fire is still under investigation, initial reports suggest that it originated from a leak in a crude oil pipeline. The leaked oil is believed to have self-ignited, leading to the blaze.
Fortunately, there were no injuries reported and the fire was contained within the refinery grounds. The incident did not pose any significant danger to the public, although there was a noticeable smell of burnt asphalt in the surrounding area.
The local fire department deployed multiple units to the scene and worked tirelessly to extinguish the flames. Additional resources, including environmental officers, were also mobilized to assess any potential environmental impacts.
Crossbridge Energy is cooperating with authorities to investigate the incident and determine the root cause. The company is committed to ensuring the safety of its operations and minimizing any disruptions to its production.
