Fire Contained at Philadelphia Refinery, an Industrial Info Market Brief
Regional gasoline prices spiked after a fire broke out early Friday morning at Philadelphia Energy Solutions' 335,000-barrel--per-day refinery in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. As of early Friday, the fire was contained, but not under control. No injuries were reported. Philadelphia Energy Solutions claims the 150-year-old refinery is the largest on the eastern seaboard of the U.S. A smaller fire broke out at the refinery earlier this month, which was quickly extinguished.
