Twelve Die As Tank Farm Fire Burns In Texas
Houston July 24 A Texas company fire at Humble oil field has killed about twelve men and destroyed the pumping plant. Tanks holding around 2400 barrels of oil valued at 60 cents per barrel burned as rescuers battled embankments and floodwater. Fire crews rely on earthen dikes to keep 11 tanks and 4,000,000 barrels of oil in nearby storage from igniting. Hundreds of workers seek shelter as rainwater floods the field and a boilover risk challenges containment. Additional casualties and exact figures remain uncertain as efforts continue.
