RICHMOND, Calif. (KGO) --
A diesel leak that quickly erupted into a large fire at the Chevron
refinery Monday evening forced people for miles around to shelter in
their home. The fire was contained four hours later but it caused the
refinery, the largest in Northern California, to shut down all
production, which is expected to cause a spike in gas prices in days to
come.
The fire began at 6:15 p.m. in the No. 4 Crude Unit at the Richmond refinery. Officials say workers noticed a leak and called for an inspection team. They realized it was a serious problem so they evacuated the unit and that's when the leak ignited.
