Friday lightening started a fire in a refinery tank holding 2 million
gallons of gasoline. Before that was brought under control an adjacent
tank containing 1 million gallons of diesel caught fire. They can't put
the fires out, but have kept them from spreading and both fires are
expected to burn themselves out in the next few days. If you are
traveling on I-35 near Wynnewood, OK and see smoke to the east it is the
refinery fire.

I can't think of any reason beyond 'irresponsibility' to let them burn
out. There are just too many good companies out there that would put them
out. (Boots & Coots and Williams Fire are a couple) So many ways, so
much foam, large nozzles, LDH and pumps... oh well...

Do you really think that Boots & Coots could have gotten there in time to
make a difference? Let's just blame the local fire departments responding
to the disaster.
cost/time it would take to get men and equipment in place verses the value
of the fuel that would have been left. Had they put it out the fuel
remaining in the tank would more than likely have been continameted and been
unfit of sale.
