A fire broke out at an Exxon Mobil Corp. refinery in Montana and was extinguished early Sunday, the company said, and the units involved have been shut while crews stabilize operations.
There were no injuries reported in the blaze that broke out just before 10 p.m. local time Saturday at the facility near Lockwood, Montana, east of Billings. Multiple crews, including the Billings Fire Department, were at the scene and the fire was reported extinguished several hours later.
The cause of the blaze is under investigation, a company spokesperson said. “We are working diligently to better understand the incident and continue to cooperate with authorities,” the statement added.
