 SUNRAY, Texas (AP) - Firefighters were dousing the last flames at a west Texas refinery Saturday, a day after an explosion injured 19 people and produced a billowing cloud of smoke that could be seen 60 miles away.
No deaths were reported and all employees at the Valero Energy Corp. McKee Refinery were accounted for, the company said.
The company said late Saturday morning that the fire was "essentially extinguished." Paul Jenkins, fire chief in the nearby community of Dumas, said Valero's fire brigade was fighting the blaze.
