Huge blaze at Mexico's largest oil storage facility in Veracruz
In April 2021, a massive blaze broke out at Mexico's largest oil storage facility in the port city of Veracruz. The fire reportedly started in one of the storage tanks at the facility and quickly spread to others, causing multiple explosions and a large plume of black smoke to rise into the sky.
The facility is owned by the state-run oil company Pemex, and is located near residential areas and a busy port. The fire led to the evacuation of nearby residents and businesses, as well as the closure of the port and suspension of some local flights.
Firefighters and emergency crews worked for hours to contain the blaze, which was finally brought under control the next day. There were no reports of fatalities or serious injuries, but the incident caused significant damage to the storage tanks and disrupted operations at the facility.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation, but it is suspected to have been triggered by a lightning strike or electrical malfunction. The incident raised concerns about the safety of Mexico's aging oil infrastructure and the risks associated with storing large quantities of petroleum products in densely populated areas.
