High Octane Gas Unit Fire Destroys Gulf Refinery Distillation
A five alarm blaze at Gulf Oil Corp refinery in South Philadelphia destroyed a distillation unit for high octane gasoline. About 150 Philadelphia firefighters and 100 Gulf specialists fought the fire near 30th Street and Penrose Avenue, evacuating the complex in freezing weather. One firefighter was treated for back injuries. Fire officials contained the fire by early Friday, with tanks nearby cooled to prevent explosions. The unit valued at about 1 million and the refinery is one of the East Coast’s largest with extensive storage and tanks.
