Tulsa firefighters responded to the HF Sinclair refinery around 11 a.m. to provide standby support during a fire at the facility, according to the Tulsa Fire Department.
Tulsa fire crews and Berryhill firefighters were positioned to assist if needed, but the refinery’s own fire brigade handled the fire, allowing outside crews to return to service, Tulsa Fire said.
Large flames and thick black smoke could be seen coming from the refinery before the fire was brought under control. A charred vehicle was visible near a large industrial tank, while a fire suppression system appeared to be active at the scene.
Officials have not said what caused the fire or whether anyone was hurt.
