A strong explosion shook Brazil’s largest refinery, located in Paulínia, in the state of São Paulo. The fire at the refinery started after the explosion of a large cracking boiler that affected several smaller distillation units. For safety reasons, the refinery eliminated the excess fuel. The explosions startled Petrobras employees who were working at the time, around one o’clock in the morning. The refinery’s own firefighting team sprang into action immediately.

The city’s Fire Department was also called to assist in combating the fire. Teams from the fire brigades of seven other nearby industries, which are part of a mutual aid group in emergencies, also fought the flames.

The fire was brought under control at 4:20 AM, but the fire brigades from the companies and firefighters remained on site conducting mop-up operations to prevent the emergence of new fire hotspots. Military police, municipal guards, and a team from Cetesb (Environmental Sanitation Technology Company) are also at the industrial complex.

Residents in the area posted messages on social media, stating that a tremor was felt throughout the city after the explosion and that a bright flash of fire was seen in the sky. Civil Defense reported that residents did not have to leave their homes. An inspection will be carried out on the properties on the morning of this Monday (21).

Petrobras stated in a note that despite the explosion, there were no injuries, and the fire has been extinguished. The company also said it has temporarily halted production at the refinery as a precaution and will form a commission to investigate the causes of the fire. Source Petro Notícias
