""Our house shook, all the windows rattled and there were flames
rising to the height of the chimneys at Coryton.

"Black smoke was billowing up into the sky."

Ray Howard is a member of Castle Point Borough Council which covers
Canvey Island, Benfleet, Thundersley and Hadleigh, and lives nearby.

"Some almighty explosion occurred, it shook my house," he said.

"The next thing, all I saw was huge flames and smoke coming from the
refinery."

"large fire broke out at an oil refinery in southern England on
Wednesday with flames reaching as high as 30 metres (100 ft),
firefighters said.

Ten fire engines and seven special firefighting vehicles were called
