Massive Fire Erupts at Chevron Refinery in El Segundo, California, Causing Concerns Over Gas Prices

A massive fire broke out at the Chevron refinery in El Segundo, near Los Angeles, following a large explosion in the jet fuel unit. Firefighters battled the blaze, which produced flames visible for miles and turned the night sky orange. Residents reported feeling the shock of the explosion and many fled their homes in panic, despite a shelter-in-place order. Fortunately, all workers at the facility were accounted for. Authorities say the fire has been contained, but it is expected to result in a spike in gas prices across Southern California and potentially beyond, with experts predicting increases of up to 95 cents in Arizona and other states. Investigations into the cause of the fire are currently underway.
