Fire erupts at ExxonMobil refinery, no injuries reported

A fire inside an ExxonMobil refinery in Louisiana turned the night sky a shade of orange and sent a large plume of smoke into the air, Report says, citing the Associated Press.

The fire erupted at the facility in Baton Rouge around 11:30 p.m. Tuesday, Baton Rouge Fire Department spokesman Curt Monte told news outlets.

No injuries were reported, and the fire was contained to the location where it started, Monte said. The glow could be seen from miles away, news outlets reported.

It wasn’t immediately clear what caused the fire.
