In brief: Mexico
A major fire was reported at the Salina Cruz oil refinery located in the southern state of Oaxaca and owned by Mexico’s state-owned oil firm, Pemex. The report of the fire, which was said to have started at one of the refinery’s crude deposits, comes a day after the refinery was temporarily closed due to the passage of Tropical Storm ‘Calvin’ through the area. Pemex noted: “Tropical Storm Calvin caused flooding that broke through dams meant to contain a form of heavy oil, causing a spill that later ignited”. Pemex also announced that nine of its workers injured in the fire had already been released from hospital.
