Large fire at Carson refinery prompts shutdown of 405 Freeway
Los Angeles County Fire said an explosion preceded the blaze in a cooling tower at the Marathon Refinery, and crews were working to depressurize the system.
Carson resident Joe Billings told KABC-TV Channel 7 that he was putting his daughter to bed when they heard an explosion and their house shook.The refinery’s “alarms went off, so that’s an indication something was really bad,” Billings told the news station, noting the alarm went off about 10:45 p.m.“Felt like the house got a little jolt on this side of town,” he said.
“I live next to the train yard, so loud sounds are always heard next to my house,” Banda said in a Twitter message. “So when I heard a very loud boom, I didn’t [think anything] of it, just another day where the trains are just loud.”
